The Pathway Ontology captures information on biological networks, the relationships between netweorks and the alterations or malfunctioning of such networks within a hierarchical structure. The five main branches of the ontology are: classic metabolic pathways, regulatory, signaling, drug, and disease pathwaysfor complex human conditions.

Local identifiers in Pathway ontology should match this
regular expression:
^\d{7}$
Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Pathway ontology should match
this regular expression:
^PW:\d{7}$
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 Pathway ontology, the banana looks like
PW:
.
Therefore, you may see local unique identifiers for this resource that look like
PW:0000423
(instead of the canonical form 0000423
) and CURIEs for this resource that look like
PW:PW:0000423
(instead of the canonical form PW:0000423
).
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 11 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/PW_$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 0000423
is used to demonstrate the providers
available for Pathway 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.
