Abstract
In this chapter, we discuss and demonstrate concrete applications of ontology reasoning for the analysis and validation of structural models in the ODSD infrastructure. We illustrate how the ontology services (see Chaps. 3 and 5 for details) summarised in Chap. 8 are employed to enable consistency-preserving structural modelling by providing means for the specification of consistency constraints, static semantics, or the derivation of suggestions for modellers.

The integrated PDDSL-OWL2 textual concrete syntax is used to present the results. Hence, the result is linguistic instances of the integrated PDDSL-OWL2 metamodel.
