CCSO-DBAcademic Ontology Extension

Overview

CCSO-DBAcademic is an extension of the Curriculum Course Syllabus Ontology (CCSO) specifically designed to support the DBAcademic project. This ontology bridges the gap between academic curricula, educational organizations, and research activities (groups and projects).

It provides a semantic layer to describe how professors, coordinators, and research leaders are connected to educational institutions and research organizations.
