Abstract. The concept of pattern, meant as an interesting knowledge artifact extracted from data, is considered to be an effective answer to the advanced analysis requirements emerging in complex industrial and scientific applications. Overall, it appears that designing and building large pattern-bases will probably be a hot issue for future applications. This paper focuses on conceptual design of pattern-bases, by discussing how UML could be used and extended to this end. In particular, the paper addresses the main issues in static modeling, including the representation of relationships between patterns, and briefly presents some issues related to functional and dynamic modeling.
