| Description | The Sustainability Core Ontology (SCO) is a middle-level ontology, covering the terminology related to the three major theoretical challenges of sustainability: 1) the polysemy of the term sustainability, 2) the relationship between sustainability and sustainable development, and 3) the complexity underlying sustainability. SCO is designed to be a pivotal resource for harmonizing and integrating ontologies with regard to sustainability. Currently, SCO employs Basic Formal Ontology (BFO) as the upper-level ontology.<br><br>The effective acronym of this resource is SCO. To avoid confusion with other resources that are already available on this portal and present the same acronym, we included reference to the initial ontology version. Uploads of novel SCO versions will specify reference to new releases.  |
