<p>The <a href="https://github.com/CommonCoreOntology" target="_blank">Common Core Ontologies (CCO)</a> is suite of eleven ontologies which, collectively, comprise a <a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2404.17757" target="_blank">mid-level ontology</a>. CCO - initiated by CUBRC, Inc. in 2010 under an IARPA Knowledge Discovery and Dissemination grant - is widely-used in defense and intelligence sectors to support data standardization, interoperability, reproducibility, and automated reasoning across numerous domains. Accordingly, CCO development and application was, for many years, conducted without much transparency. As of 2017, however, CCO has been available under a BSD-3 license with a public GitHub repository open to collaboration. Making CCO publicly available has led to significant increase of interest in CCO development. For example, in 2022 the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) <a href="https://standards.ieee.org/ieee/3195/11025/" target="_blank">P3195 Standard for Requirements for a Mid-Level Ontology and Extensions working group</a> initiated a review of CCO to become the first mid-level ontology standard. More recently, in 2024 CCO was endorsed as a “baseline standard” for all <a href="https://www.buffalo.edu/ubnow/stories/2024/03/smith-ontology-standard.html" target="_blank">formal ontology development across the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community</a>.

<h1>Common Core Ontologies</h1>
<p>CCO modules are not intended to provide an exhaustive taxonomy of all possible entities within scope but instead provide guardrails for extending the top-level semantics of BFO into more specific domains. For example, the Artifact Ontology is a guide for extending the semantics of artifact into specific domains of interest, such as medical artifacts, scientific artifacts, military artifacts, and so on.</p>
