An ontology for respresenting spatial concepts, anatomical axes, gradients, regions, planes, sides and surfaces. These concepts can be used at multiple biological scales and in a diversity of taxa, including plants, animals and fungi. The BSPO is used to provide a source of anatomical location descriptors for logically defining anatomical entity classes in anatomy ontologies.

Local identifiers in Biological Spatial Ontology should match this
regular expression:
^\d{7}$
Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Biological Spatial Ontology should match
this regular expression:
^BSPO:\d{7}$
The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are

Providers are various services that resolve CURIEs to URLs. The example CURIE
bspo:0000029
is used to demonstrate the provides available for
bspo
. Generation of OLS and BioPortal URLs requires additional programmatic
logic beyond string formatting.
