Basic Formal Ontology (BFO) is a top-level ontology developed by Barry Smith and his associates for the purposes of promoting interoperability among domain ontologies built in its terms through a process of downward population. A guide to building BFO-conformant domain ontologies was published by MIT Press in 2015.
ISO/IEC 21838-2:2021 Information technology - Top-level ontologies (TLO) - Part 2: Basic Formal Ontology (BFO) describes Basic Formal Ontology (BFO), as an ontology conformant to the requirements specified in ISO/IEC 21838-1.
From 2016 he served as editor of international standard ISO/IEC 21838: Top Level Ontologies, Parts 1 and 2, which were published by ISO in 2021. Part 1 [13] specifies the requirements for being a top-level (which means: domain-neutral) ontology. Part 2 [14] is devoted to Basic Formal Ontology (BFO).
In philosophy, the term formal ontology is used to refer to an ontology defined by axioms in a formal language with the goal to provide an unbiased (domain- and application-independent) view on reality, which can help the modeler of domain- or application-specific ontologies to avoid possibly erroneous ontological assumptions encountered in modeling large-scale ontologies.

Basic Formal Ontology, [38] a formal upper ontology designed to support scientific research; BioPAX, [39] an ontology for the exchange and interoperability of biological pathway (cellular processes) data; BMO, [40] an e-Business Model Ontology based on a review of enterprise ontologies and business model literature
The Basic Formal Ontology (BFO) framework developed by Barry Smith and his associates consists of a series of sub-ontologies at different levels of granularity. The ontologies are divided into two varieties: relating to continuant entities such as three-dimensional enduring objects, and occurrent entities (primarily) processes conceived as ...
The Web Ontology Language (OWL) is a family of knowledge representation languages for authoring ontologies.Ontologies are a formal way to describe taxonomies and classification networks, essentially defining the structure of knowledge for various domains: the nouns representing classes of objects and the verbs representing relations between the objects.
