The semanticscience integrated ontology (SIO) provides a simple, integrated upper level ontology (types, relations) for consistent knowledge representation across physical, processual and informational entities.

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in Semanticscience Integrated Ontology should match this regular expression:
^\d{6}$

Example Local Unique Identifier

000912   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Semanticscience Integrated Ontology should match this regular expression:
^sio:\d{6}$

Example CURIE

sio:000912

Namespace Embedded in LUI

This resource has been annotated by the Bioregistry as having a potential namespace embedded in LUI. 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 Semanticscience Integrated Ontology, the banana looks like SIO_. Therefore, you may see local unique identifiers for this resource that look like SIO_000912 (instead of the canonical form 000912) and CURIEs for this resource that look like sio:SIO_000912 (instead of the canonical form sio:000912). The Bioregistry will automatically strip off the banana when standardizing local unique identifiers and CURIEs.

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 10 mappings to external registries for this resource with 2 unique external prefixes.

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 000912 is used to demonstrate the providers available for Semanticscience Integrated Ontology. A guide for curating additional providers can be found here.
