description: The General Formal Ontology is a top-level ontology for conceptual modeling,
  which is being constantly further developed by Onto-Med. It includes elaborations
  of categories like objects, processes, time and space, properties, relations, roles,
  functions, facts, and situations. Moreover, we are working on an integration with
  the notion of levels of reality in order to more appropriately capture entities
  in the material, mental, and social areas.
