The Cowpea Trait Ontology is part of the Crop Ontology (CO) project. The Crop Ontology has been created to compile validated concepts along with their inter-relationships on anatomy, structure and phenotype of Crops, on trait measurement and methods as well as on Germplasm with the multi-crop passport terms. The concepts of the CO are being used to curate agronomic databases and describe the data. The use of ontology terms to describe agronomic phenotypes and the accurate mapping of these descriptions into databases is important in comparative phenotypic and genotypic studies across species and gene-discovery experiments as it provides harmonized description of the data and therefore facilitates the retrieval of information.

Identifier Standards
- Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers
-
Local identifiers in Cowpea Ontology should match this regular expression:
^\d{7}$ - Example Local Unique Identifier
- 0000639 Resolve
- Pattern for CURIES
-
Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Cowpea Ontology should match this regular expression:
^CO_340:\d{7}$ - Example CURIE
- CO_340:0000639

Providers
A provider turns a local unique identifiers from a resource into a URI. Many providers are also resolvable as URLs (i.e., they can be used in a web browser).
The local unique identifier 0000639 is used to demonstrate the providers
available for Cowpea Ontology. Some providers may use a different example, which is displayed in the table below.
A guide for curating additional providers can be found
here.
