BFO is deliberately designed to be very small, in order to represent in consistent fashion those top-level categories common to [[Edu:domain ontology | domain ontologies]] developed by scientists in different fields. BFO assists domain ontologists by providing a common top-level structure to support the interoperability of the multiple [[Edu:domain ontology | domain ontologies]] created in its [[Edu:term|terms]].
