GFO

  1. The General Formal Ontology (GFO)is a top-level ontology for conceptual modeling, which is being constantly further developed by Onto-Med. GFO exhibits a three-layered meta-ontological architecture consisting of an abstract top level, an abstract core level, and a basic level. It includes elaborations of categories like objects, processes, time and space, properties, relations, roles, functions, facts, and situations.
