This Chapter describes a specialization of the Description Ontology Design Pattern (ODP), i.e., the Description In Range ODP, that allows one to range the conceptualization of a descriptive context within specific borders defined by means of literal values. The specialization emerged within an e-government Linked Open Data (LOD) project named FOOD, where it was required to model in OWL descriptions of raw material and physical, chemical, organoleptic characteristics of European Union (EU) quality schemes for agricultural and food products – i.e., PDO (Protected Designation of Origin), PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) and TSG (Traditional Speciality Guaranteed).
