As ontologies find an ever-larger number of applications, the diversity of domain ontologies and the requirements for their intended uses increases as well, creating challenges for interoperability and tooling. There are often multiple ways of modelling the same knowledge, which have coalesced into ontology patterns and modelling styles, and pattern alignments for perceived to semantically the same domain knowledge have been identified. To facilitate interoperability and applicability of foundational ontology-based modelling choices with domain ontologies and so-called application ontologies or conceptual data models, we propose a general framework for the substitution of one pattern for another. This can be applied by various methods, including purely syntactic comparisons. A proof-of-concept tool that implements such a syntax-based approach for FOL ontologies encoded in CLIF is demonstrated and evaluated against a set of DOLCE-aligned ontologies.
