description: The Common Coordinate Framework (CCF) Ontology is an application ontology
  built to support the development of the Human Reference Atlas (HRA).  It unifies
  vocabulary for HRA construction and usage—making it possible to ingest external
  data sources; supporting uniform tissue sample registration that includes the spatial
  positioning and semantic annotations within 3D reference organs; and supporting
  user-formulated cross-domain queries over tissue donor properties, anatomical structures,
  cell types, biomarkers, and 3D space. The CCF Ontology consists of three major ontologies.
  The Biological Structure Ontology records anatomical structures, cell types, and
  biomarkers (ASCT+B) and the relationships between them.  The ASCT+B tables are authored
  by human experts using templated Google Sheets. The biomarkers, cell types, and
  anatomical structures are mapped to existing ontologies (Uberon/FMA, CL, HGNC) whenever
  possible.  All relationships between anatomical structures and from cell types to
  anatomical structures are valid Uberon and CL relationships. The Spatial Ontology
  defines the shape, size, location, and rotation of experimental tissue and data
  major anatomical structures in the 3D Reference Object Library. The Specimen Ontology
  captures the sex, age, and other information on donors that provided tissue data
  used in the construction of the HRA.
