The Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) aims to provide a standardized vocabulary of phenotypic abnormalities encountered in human disease. Each term in the HPO describes a phenotypic abnormality, such as atrial septal defect. The HPO is currently being developed using the medical literature, Orphanet, DECIPHER, and OMIM.

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

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

Example Local Unique Identifier

0011140   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Human Phenotype Ontology should match this regular expression:
^HP:\d{7}$

Example CURIE

HP:0011140

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 Human Phenotype Ontology, the banana looks like HP:. Therefore, you may see local unique identifiers for this resource that look like HP:0011140 (instead of the canonical form 0011140) and CURIEs for this resource that look like HP:HP:0011140 (instead of the canonical form HP:0011140). 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 14 mappings to external registries for this resource with 8 unique external prefixes.

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

http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/HP_$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 0011140 is used to demonstrate the providers available for Human Phenotype Ontology. A guide for curating additional providers can be found here.
