The General Entity Model (GEM) is a foundational ontology that may be used for the creation of domain-specific ontologies. GEM is formed using parts of various other foundational ontologies including:
Elements of these foundational ontologies are combined in a way that is human-friendly while being both comprehensive in terms of scope and concise in terms of classes and other ontology elements. The intention of GEM is that a user may apply it as a foundation for building a more specific ontology. This can be done by copying GEM and adding child classes and properties to those already existing withing GEM.
Please use an ontology editor for making any modifications to this ontology.
