What kind of concept is in CCO?

In 2023, they created a governance committee to take care of CCO. Their responsibility is to engage key stakeholders, improve logistics, improve visibility, transparency, access, supporting the creation of IEEE SA Open Standard for mid-level ontologies.
There is a UB NCOR CCO working group - johnbeve@buffalo.edu. Representing Energy in the Midlevel Energy Ontology (MENO)
