Abstract. Measurement is an important activity in several domains. Although there are specific concepts regarding measurement in each domain, some con-cepts are common to all of them. This paper presents a Measurement Ontology Pattern Language (M-OPL) that addresses the measurement core conceptualiza-tion. M-OPL can be used for building measurement ontologies to several do-mains. The ontology patterns that compose M-OPL are developed taking the Unified Foundational Ontology (UFO) as a basis. As an example, we present the use of M-OPL for building a software measurement domain ontology.
