Hi Leigh, good news :)
Some obvious links between your list of "modelling patterns", and the
"content" and "logical" pattern catalogues in ODP:
- Ordering relation [1] can be linked to the OWL small vocabulary (we
call those task-oriented, small vocabularies "content patterns"):
sequence.owl [2]
- N-Ary relation [3] has several counterparts: the W3C SWBPD note on n-
ary relations [4], the content pattern situation.owl [5], and other
content patterns for specific classes of n-ary relations
(participation, classification, part-of, membership, etc.) that can be
found in the ODP portal
- Topic relation [6] can be linked to the OWL small vocabulary:
topic.owl [7]
Moreover, it seems that the other types of patterns you have singled
out: "identifier", "application" and "publishing" were partly covered
in the literature about ontology design patterns (our tutorial at [8]
is a pragmatic starting point), but no place has been created yet in
the portal, specially for the sake of linked data-oriented practices:
it'd be great if anyone would create space for them in ODP, where
there is dedicated support for semantic wiki forms, and semantic
management of reviewing and discussions.

Hi,
OntologyDesignPatterns.org is indeed the place to discuss ontology
patterns. It's also good to know which patterns are useful in
practice,
and linked-data vocab patterns are used in vocabs that are themselves
effectively used to describe data. The "known uses" field is actually
empty for most patterns on the ODP portal, this should evolve as
vocabularies are designed using patterns. Let's explicit links
between
the two efforts!
Yes, I'll add in links to the wiki where there is an equivalent
pattern. I'd also encourage everyone here to contribute there,
particularly to help fill in the gaps around "known uses".
Cheers,
L.
