<h3>BFO/CCO Alignment Module</h3>

BFO is a 'top level ontology', which makes a basic distinction between
<a href="https://github.com/bfo-ontology/bfo-2020?tab=readme-ov-file#basic-formal-ontology-hierarchy">Continuants and Occurrents</a>.
This allows us to make a primary alignment of <a>sosa:Execution</a> and <a>sosa:Deployment</a> with classes in the BFO
Occurrent hierarchy, and
<a>sosa:Asset</a>, <a>sosa:System</a> and <a>sosa:Sample</a> with classes in the BFO Continuant hierarchy.
