Babelon is a simple standard for managing ontology translations and language profiles. Profiles are managed as TSV files, see for example https://github.com/obophenotype/hpo-translations/tree/main/babelon. The goal of Babelon as a data model and vocabulary is to capture the minimum data required to capture important metadata such as confidence and precision of translation.

Identifier Standards
- Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers
-
Local unique identifiers in Babelon should match this
regular expression:
^[a-z][a-z0-9_]+[a-z0-9]$ - Example Local Unique Identifier
- translation_language Resolve
- Pattern for CURIES
-
Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Babelon should match
this regular expression:
^babelon:[a-z][a-z0-9_]+[a-z0-9]$ - Example CURIE
- babelon:translation_language

Providers
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 translation_language is used to demonstrate the providers
available for Babelon. Some providers may use a different example, which is displayed in the table below.
A guide for curating additional providers can be found
here.
