The General Formal Ontology (GFO) is an upper ontology integrating processes and objects. GFO has been developed by Heinrich Herre, Barbara Heller and collaborators in Leipzig. Although GFO provides one taxonomic tree, different axiom systems may be chosen for its modules. In this sense, GFO provides a framework for building custom, domain-specific ontologies. GFO exhibits a three-layered meta-ontological architecture consisting of an abstract top level, an abstract core level, and a basic level.
Primarily, the ontology GFO:includes objects as well as processes and both are integrated into one coherent system,
includes levels of reality,
is designed to support interoperability by principles of ontological mapping and reduction,
contains several novel ontological modules, in particular, a module for functions and a module for roles, and
is designed for applications, firstly in medical, biological, and biomedical areas, but also in the fields of economics and sociology.
