N2 - The TOUCAN project proposed an ontology for telecom- munication networks with hybrid technologies – the TOUCAN Ontol- ogy (ToCo), available at http://purl.org/toco/, as well as a knowl- edge design pattern Device-Interface-Link (DIL) pattern. The core classes and relationships forming the ontology are discussed in detail. The ToCo ontology can describe the physical infrastructure, quality of channel, services and users in heterogeneous telecommunication networks which span multiple technology domains. The DIL pattern is observed and summarised when modelling networks with various technology do- mains. Examples and use cases of ToCo are presented for demonstration.
