The Vaccine Ontology (VO) is a community-based biomedical ontology in the domain of vaccine and vaccination. VO aims to standardize vaccine types and annotations, integrate various vaccine data, and support computer-assisted reasoning. The VO supports basic vaccine R&D and clincal vaccine usage. VO is being developed as a community-based ontology with support and collaborations from the vaccine and bio-ontology communities.

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

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

Example Local Unique Identifier

0000093   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

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

Example CURIE

VO:0000093

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 9 mappings to external registries for this resource with 3 unique external prefixes.

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

http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/VO_$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 0000093 is used to demonstrate the providers available for Vaccine 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.
