The Common Core Ontologies (CCO) comprise twelve ontologies that are designed to represent and integrate taxonomies of generic classes and relations across all domains of interest. CCO is a mid-level extension of Basic Formal Ontology (BFO), an upper-level ontology framework widely used to structure and integrate ontologies in the biomedical domain (Arp, et al., 2015). BFO aims to represent the most generic categories of entity and the most generic types of relations that hold between them, by defining a small number of classes and relations. CCO then extends from BFO in the sense that every class in CCO is asserted to be a subclass of some class in BFO, and that CCO adopts the generic relations defined in BFO (e.g., has_part) (Smith and Grenon, 2004). Accordingly, CCO classes and relations are heavily constrained by the BFO framework, from which it inherits much of its basic semantic relationships.

SSSOM is a Simple Standard for Sharing Ontological Mappings, providing - a TSV-based representation for ontology term mappings - a comprehensive set of standard metadata elements to describe mappings and - a standard translation between the TSV and the Web Ontology Language (OWL). Most metadata elements, such as "sssom:mapping_justification" are defined in the sssom namespace.
