Elucidating the mechanism of toxicity is crucial in drug safety evaluations. TOXic Process Ontology (TXPO) systematizes a wide variety of terms involving toxicity courses and processes. The first version of TXPO focuses on liver toxicity. The TXPO contains an is-a hierarchy that is organized into three layers: the top layer contains general terms, mostly derived from the Basic Formal Ontology. The intermediate layer contains biomedical terms in OBO foundry from UBERON, Cell Ontology, NCBI Taxon, ChEBI, Gene Ontology, PATO, OGG, INOH, HINO, NCIT, DOID and Relational ontology (RO). The lower layer contains toxicological terms. In applied work, we have developed a prototype of TOXPILOT, a TOXic Process InterpretabLe knOwledge sysTem. TOXPILOT provides visualization maps of the toxic course, which facilitates capturing the comprehensive picture for understanding toxicity mechanisms. A prototype of TOXPILOT is available: https://toxpilot.nibiohn.go.jp

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

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

Example Local Unique Identifier

0002066   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Toxic Process Ontology should match this regular expression:
^TXPO:\d{7}$

Example CURIE

TXPO:0002066

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 5 mappings to external registries for this resource with 1 unique external prefixes.

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

http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/TXPO_$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 0002066 is used to demonstrate the providers available for Toxic Process Ontology. A guide for curating additional providers can be found here.
