.NET Standard and the .NET Standard Class Library Project Template
The .NET Standard is a formal specification of the .NET APIs. Over time, all of the available .NET runtimes (.NET Framework, .NET Core, Mono) will adhere to this specification so that code written to the .NET Standard will be portable across all of those runtimes.
For more information see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/library.
