Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in Ontology for Parasite LifeCycle should match this regular expression:
^\d{7}$

Example Local Unique Identifier

0000319   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Ontology for Parasite LifeCycle should match this regular expression:
^OPL:\d{7}$

Example CURIE

OPL:0000319

MIRIAM Namespace Embedded in LUI

The legacy MIRIAM standard for generating CURIEs with this resource annotates the namespaceEmbeddedInLUI as true. This means that you may see local unique identifiers that include a redundant prefix and delimiter (also known as a banana) and therefore look like a CURIE. For Ontology for Parasite LifeCycle, the banana looks like OPL:. Therefore, you may see local unique identifiers for this resource that look like OPL:0000319 (instead of the canonical form 0000319) and CURIEs for this resource that look like OPL:OPL:0000319 (instead of the canonical form OPL:0000319). The Bioregistry will automatically strip off the banana when standardizing local unique identifiers and CURIEs.

2012 The Ontology for Parasite Lifecycle (OPL): towards a consistent vocabulary of lifecycle stages in parasitic organisms

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 8 mappings to external registries for this resource with 2 unique external prefixes.

When using this resource in RDF, the following URI format should be used:

http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/OPL_$1

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 0000319 is used to demonstrate the providers available for Ontology for Parasite LifeCycle. A guide for curating additional providers can be found here.
