Core
Core is a “mid-level” ontology that resides at the top of the suite of ontologies the IOF seeks to introduce to fulfill its mission of supporting digital manufacturing by standardizing industrial terminology and improving consistency and interoperability across many operational areas of manufacturing and the product life cycle. As a mid-level ontology, Core contains terms used by, or anticipated to be used by, a plurality of ontologies in the suite. Additionally, as the IOF bases all of its ontologies on a single foundational or top-level ontology – for which the IOF has chosen the Basic Formal Ontology or BFO – the Core ontology contains generic terms that build upon BFO and provide a consistent foundation for introducing industrial domain-specific terminologies.
