The purpose of the OMIT ontology is to establish data exchange standards and common data elements in the microRNA (miR) domain. Biologists (cell biologists in particular) and bioinformaticians can make use of OMIT to leverage emerging semantic technologies in knowledge acquisition and discovery for more effective identification of important roles performed by miRs in humans' various diseases and biological processes (usually through miRs' respective target genes).

MCO

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 9 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/OMIT_$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 0000069 is used to demonstrate the providers available for Ontology for MicroRNA Target. A guide for curating additional providers can be found here.
