 # NFDI4Culture Ontology (CTO)
 
-## Introduction
+[NFDI4Culture](https://nfdi4culture.de/) is the Consortium for Research Data on Material and Immaterial Cultural Heritage. Within NFDI4Culture, a [Knowledge Graph](https://nfdi4culture.de/resources/knowledge-graph.html) has been developed and integrated with the [Culture Information Portal](https://nfdi4culture.de/) with the goal to aggregate heterogeneous and isolated data from the research landscape focused on by NFDI4Culture and thereby increase the discoverability, interoperability and reusability of cultural heritage data. 
 
-The NFDI4Culture ontology (CTO) is a domain module and is developed compliant with the NFDIcore as a mid-level ontology and the Basic Formal Ontology 2020 as a foundational ontology. 
-This is where we document the ongoing development work on CTO and test ideas and do development work on the [knowledge graph of the NFDI4Culture consortium](https://nfdi4culture.de/resources/knowledge-graph.html)
+This repository provides the NFDI4Culture Ontology (CTO), a domain-specific ontology module developed within the Task Area 5 of the NFDI4Culture initiative. CTO builds upon the NFDIcore mid-level ontology and is aligned with the Basic Formal Ontology (BFO) 2020 to ensure semantic interoperability and ontological rigor.
+CTO represents the research data of the NFDI4Culture community within a research data index, i.e. a single point of access to decentralized cultural heritage research resources. The ontology supports the integration of the most relevant metadata from the main subject areas of NFDI4Culture: architecture, art history, performing arts, musicology, and media studies. These metadata are harvested using a dedicated [ETL pipeline](https://nfdi4culture.de/id/E5877) and integrated into the NFDI4Culture Knowledge Graph using CTO. 
 
-This is a feeding ground for what eventually ends up in the [Culture Knowledge Graph Kitchen](https://gitlab.rlp.net/adwmainz/nfdi4culture/knowledge-graph/culture-kg-kitchen/)
+The ontology’s latest version is always accessible at: [cto.owl](https://github.com/ISE-FIZKarlsruhe/nfdi4culture/blob/main/cto.owl)

+# CTO in the Context of NFDI4Culture
+
+[NFDI4Culture](https://nfdi4culture.de/) is the Consortium for Research Data on Material and Immaterial Cultural Heritage. As a consortium within the framework of the German national research data infrastructure programme [NFDI](https://www.nfdi.de) the goal of NFDI4Culture is the establishment of a information infrastructure for cultural heritage research data. This primarily concerns the subject areas architecture, art history, performing arts, musicology, and media sciences. 
+
+Within NFDI4Culture, a [Knowledge Graph](https://nfdi4culture.de/resources/knowledge-graph.html) has been developed and integrated with the [Culture Information Portal](https://nfdi4culture.de/) with the goal to aggregate heterogeneous and isolated data from the research landscape focused on by NFDI4Culture and thereby increase the discoverability, interoperability and reusability of cultural heritage data. The NFDI4Culture Knowledge Graph acts as a single point of access to decentralized cultural heritage research resources.
