本标准定义了一个核心本体，允许机器人技术和自动化（R&a）领域的知识表示、推理和交流。该本体包括通用概念及其定义、属性、约束和关系。这些术语可以专门用于捕捉机器人子领域中概念的详细语义。 本标准包含机器人技术与自动化核心本体（CORA）以及基本概念的表示，从中可以构建属于其他机器人技术与自动化本体工作组（ORA WG）本体的更详细概念。本标准还定义了用于构建ORA本体的本体工程方法。

This standard defines a core ontology that allows for the representation of, reasoning about, and communication of knowledge in the robotics and automation (R&A) domain. This ontology includes generic concepts as well as their definitions, attributes, constraints, and relationships. These terms can be specialized to capture the detailed semantics for concepts in robotics sub-domains. This standard contains the Core Ontology for Robotics and Automation (CORA) with the representation of fundamental concepts from which the more detailed concepts belonging to other Ontologies for Robotics and Automation Working Group (ORA WG) ontologies are constructed. This standard also defines the ontology engineering methodology used to construct the ORA ontologies.
