NCOR Common Core Ontologies Working Group

NCOR Common Core Ontologies Working Group

Common Core Ontologies

The Common Core Ontologies (CCO) were developed and promoted by Ron Rudnicki and is comprised of 11 ontologies extending from Basic Formal Ontology that aim to represent and integrate taxonomies of generic classes and relations across all domains.

NCOR CCO WG

The aim of the NCOR Common Core Ontologies Working Group (CCOWG) is to cultivate an understanding of, provide contributions to, and promote development of the Common Core Ontology (CCO) suite. The group is comprised of academics, students, and professionals with a common interest in CCO-based domain ontology engineering.

The CCOWG is chaired by Carter Benson and holds weekly hybrid meetings. Meetings regularly involve discussions of CCO-based projects, such as design pattern refinement, alignment with nearby open-source ontologies, and crafting criteria for what counts as a "mid-level" ontology or ontology suite. Please see the minutes from past meetings below for a better understanding of topics covered.

If you would like to attend CCOWG meetings either in-person or remotely, contact Carter at: carterbe[at]buffalo.edu.

Common Core Ontology Resources

The Common Core Ontology suite is a widely-used open-source project with helpful documentation to guide development across its numerous domains and extensions. Resources include:
