The OPB is a reference ontology of classical physics as applied to the dynamics of biological systems. It is designed to encompass the multiple structural scales (multiscale atoms to organisms) and multiple physical domains (multidomain fluid dynamics, chemical kinetics, particle diffusion, etc.) that are encountered in the study and analysis of biological organisms.

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in Ontology of Physics for Biology should match this regular expression:
^\d+$

Example Local Unique Identifier

00573   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Ontology of Physics for Biology should match this regular expression:
^opb:\d+$

Example CURIE

opb:00573

Namespace Embedded in LUI

This resource has been annotated by the Bioregistry as having a potential namespace embedded in LUI. 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 Physics for Biology, the banana looks like OPB_. Therefore, you may see local unique identifiers for this resource that look like OPB_00573 (instead of the canonical form 00573) and CURIEs for this resource that look like opb:OPB_00573 (instead of the canonical form opb:00573). 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 7 mappings to external registries for this resource with 2 unique external prefixes.

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 00573 is used to demonstrate the providers available for Ontology of Physics for Biology. 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.
