ECTO describes exposures to experimental treatments of plants and model organisms (e.g. exposures to modification of diet, lighting levels, temperature); exposures of humans or any other organisms to stressors through a variety of routes, for purposes of public health, environmental monitoring etc, stimuli, natural and experimental, any kind of environmental condition or change in condition that can be experienced by an organism or population of organisms on earth. The scope is very general and can include for example plant treatment regimens, as well as human clinical exposures (although these may better be handled by a more specialized ontology).

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in Environmental conditions, treatments and exposures ontology should match this regular expression:
^\d{7}$

Example Local Unique Identifier

0000001   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Environmental conditions, treatments and exposures ontology should match this regular expression:
^ECTO:\d{7}$

Example CURIE

ECTO:0000001

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 8 mappings to external registries for this resource with 2 unique external prefixes.

When using this resource in RDF, the following URI format should be used:

http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/ECTO_$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 0000001 is used to demonstrate the providers available for Environmental conditions, treatments and exposures ontology. Some providers may use a different example, which is displayed in the table below. A guide for curating additional providers can be found here.
