This paper presents a content ontology design pattern for the representation of software metrics, in software engineering ontologies, called OOPMetrics. This content ontology design pattern is designed to ease the detection of software design flaws based on the metrics that are defined in the ontology that uses it. We also present a case study that shows how an ontology that uses this pattern may be queried in order to detect these design flaws. In particular, we will focus on the God Class design flaw.
