The Ontology for Biomedical Investigations (OBI) project is developing an integrated ontology for the description of biological and clinical investigations. The ontology will represent the design of an investigation, the protocols and instrumentation used, the material used, the data generated and the type analysis performed on it. Currently OBI is being built under the Basic Formal Ontology (BFO).

OBI
Local identifiers in Ontology for Biomedical Investigations should match this
regular expression:
^\d{7}$
Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Ontology for Biomedical Investigations should match
this regular expression:
^OBI:\d{7}$
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 Biomedical Investigations, the banana looks like
OBI:
.
Therefore, you may see local unique identifiers for this resource that look like
OBI:0400109
(instead of the canonical form 0400109
) and CURIEs for this resource that look like
OBI:OBI:0400109
(instead of the canonical form OBI:0400109
).
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 11 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/OBI_$1
Providers are various services that resolve CURIEs to URLs. The example CURIE
OBI:0400109
is used to demonstrate the provides available for
this resource. Generation of OLS and BioPortal URLs requires additional programmatic
logic beyond string formatting.
Additional providers curated in the Bioregistry are listed here.
