Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in Ontology of Biological and Clinical Statistics should match this regular expression:
^\d{7}$

Example Local Unique Identifier

0000121   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Ontology of Biological and Clinical Statistics should match this regular expression:
^OBCS:\d{7}$

Example CURIE

OBCS:0000121

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 Ontology of Biological and Clinical Statistics, the banana looks like OBCS:. Therefore, you may see local unique identifiers for this resource that look like OBCS:0000121 (instead of the canonical form 0000121) and CURIEs for this resource that look like OBCS:OBCS:0000121 (instead of the canonical form OBCS:0000121). The Bioregistry will automatically strip off the banana when standardizing local unique identifiers and CURIEs.

2016 The Ontology of Biological and Clinical Statistics (OBCS) for standardized and reproducible statistical analysis

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 8 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/OBCS_$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 0000121 is used to demonstrate the providers available for Ontology of Biological and Clinical Statistics. A guide for curating additional providers can be found here.
