The Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) classification system, divides active substances into different groups according to the organ or system on which they act and their therapeutic, pharmacological and chemical properties. Drugs are classified in groups at five different levels; Drugs are divided into fourteen main groups (1st level), with pharmacological/therapeutic subgroups (2nd level). The 3rd and 4th levels are chemical/pharmacological/therapeutic subgroups and the 5th level is the chemical substance. The Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) classification system and the Defined Daily Dose (DDD) is a tool for exchanging and comparing data on drug use at international, national or local levels.
atc
Local identifiers in Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification System should match this
regular expression:
^[A-Z](\d+([A-Z]{1,2}(\d+)?)?)?$
Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification System should match
this regular expression:
^atc:[A-Z](\d+([A-Z]{1,2}(\d+)?)?)?$
The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are

Providers are various services that resolve CURIEs to URLs. The example CURIE
atc:A10BA02
is used to demonstrate the provides available for
atc
. Generation of OLS and BioPortal URLs requires additional programmatic
logic beyond string formatting.
