We present OntoDT, a generic ontology for the representation of scientiﬁc knowledge about datatypes. OntoDT deﬁnes basic entities, such as datatype, properties of datatypes, speciﬁcations, characterizing operations, and a datatype taxonomy. We demonstrate the utility of OntoDT on several use cases. OntoDT was used within an Ontology of core data mining entities for constructing taxonomies of datasets, data mining tasks, generalizations and data mining algorithms. We also show how OntoDT can improve the representation of datatypes in the BioXSD exchange format for basic bio-informatics types of data. The generic nature of OntoDT enables it to support a wide range of other applications, especially in combination with other domain speciﬁc ontologies: the construction of data mining workﬂows, annotation of software and algorithms, semantic annotation of scientiﬁc articles, etc. OntoDT is open source and is available at http://www.ontodm.com/doku.php?id=ontodt
