description: '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.'
