Several Web of Thing (WoT) ontologies defined by different standard organizations share common objectives: describing measurements and possible actions. Unfortunately, their modelling seems quite similar but not easy to align. This article proposes the pattern "Kind of X and X of Interest". It conciliates two ways of modelling proposed in those ontologies to clarify their understanding and possibly integrate them. The paper illustrates the reuse of the pattern in the ontology of the CoSWoT project, which aims to extend the Semantic Web of Things (SWoT) to constrained devices. We also showcase possible generalization tracks to reuse the pattern in other projects addressing domains other than WoT, such as the European project Omega-X.
