The Cell Ontology is designed as a structured controlled vocabulary for cell types. The ontology was constructed for use by the model organism and other bioinformatics databases, incorporating cell types from prokaryotes to mammals, and includes plants and fungi.
cl
CL
Local identifiers in Cell Ontology should match this
regular expression:
^\d{7}$
Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Cell Ontology should match
this regular expression:
^CL:\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 Cell Ontology, the banana looks like
CL:
.
Therefore, you may see local unique identifiers for this resource that look like
CL:0000062
(instead of the canonical form 0000062
) and CURIEs for this resource that look like
CL:CL:0000062
(instead of the canonical form CL:0000062
).
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 14 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/CL_$1
Providers are various services that resolve CURIEs to URLs. The example CURIE
CL:0000062
is used to demonstrate the provides available for
this resource. Generation of OLS and BioPortal URLs requires additional programmatic
logic beyond string formatting.
Additional providers curated in the Bioregistry are listed here.
