The Disease Ontology has been developed as a standardized ontology for human disease with the purpose of providing the biomedical community with consistent, reusable and sustainable descriptions of human disease terms, phenotype characteristics and related medical vocabulary disease concepts.

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in Human Disease Ontology should match this regular expression:
^\d+$

Example Local Unique Identifier

0110974   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Human Disease Ontology should match this regular expression:
^DOID:\d+$

Example CURIE

DOID:0110974

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 Disease Ontology, the banana looks like DOID:. Therefore, you may see local unique identifiers for this resource that look like DOID:0110974 (instead of the canonical form 0110974) and CURIEs for this resource that look like DOID:DOID:0110974 (instead of the canonical form DOID:0110974). 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 6 unique external prefixes.

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

http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/DOID_$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 0110974 is used to demonstrate the providers available for Human Disease 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.
