\ No newline at end of file
+General Process Ontology (GPO), work in progress
+
+Public repo: https://gitlab.cc-asp.fraunhofer.de/ISC-Public/ISC-Digital/ontology/gpo
+
+## About
+
+Basically, this ontology aims to model processes. Processes are holistic perspective elements that transform inputs/educts (matter, energy, information) into output/products (matter, energy, information) with the help of tools (devices, algorithms). They can be decomposed into sub-processes and have predecessor and successor processes. 
+
+The GPO is a cross-project development under the coordination of Fraunhofer ISC (both EU and national research projects).
+
+Based on EMMO: https://github.com/emmo-repo/EMMO
