The GO reference collection is a set of abstracts that can be cited in the GO ontologies (e.g. as dbxrefs for term definitions) and annotation files (in the Reference column). It provides two types of reference; It can be used to provide details of why specific Evidence codes (see http://identifiers.org/eco/) are assigned, or to present abstract-style descriptions of "GO content" meetings at which substantial changes in the ontologies are discussed and made.

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local unique identifiers in Gene Ontology Reference should match this regular expression:
^\d{7}$

Example Local Unique Identifier

0000041   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Gene Ontology Reference should match this regular expression:
^go\.ref:\d{7}$

Example CURIE

go.ref:0000041

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 , the banana looks like GO_REF:. Therefore, you may see local unique identifiers for this resource that look like GO_REF:0000041 (instead of the canonical form 0000041) and CURIEs for this resource that look like go.ref:GO_REF:0000041 (instead of the canonical form go.ref:0000041). The Bioregistry will automatically strip off the banana when standardizing local unique identifiers and CURIEs.

Mappings from records in Bioregistry to external registries comprises the metaregistry. This resource has 4 mappings to external registries 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 Gene Ontology Reference. Some providers may use a different example, which is displayed in the table below. 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.
