BFO contains classes and relations representing content common to all areas of scientific investigation, e.g. object, process, etc. and is used as a top-level architecture by numerous ontologies in the [Open Biomedical and Biomedical Ontologies (OBO) Foundry](https://obofoundry.org/), the [Industrial Ontologies Foundry (IOF)](https://oagi.org/pages/industrial-ontologies), and the [Common Core Ontologies](https://github.com/CommonCoreOntology/CommonCoreOntologies) suite.
