The Vital Sign Ontology (VSO) is an extension of the Ontology for General Medical Science (OGMS). VSO covers the four consensus human vital signs: blood pressure, body temperature, respiration rate, pulse rate. VSO provides also a controlled structured vocabulary for describing vital signs measurement data, the various processes of measuring vital signs, and the various devices and anatomical entities participating in such measurements.

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in Vital Sign Ontology should match this regular expression:
^\d{7}$

Example Local Unique Identifier

0000041   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Vital Sign Ontology should match this regular expression:
^vso:\d{7}$

Example CURIE

vso:0000041

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 5 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 0000041 is used to demonstrate the providers available for Vital Sign Ontology. A guide for curating additional providers can be found here.

Additional providers curated in the Bioregistry are listed here. These are typically inherited from Identifiers.org or Prefix Commons, and need extra curation.
