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

Depends On (13) (bioregistry.schema:0000017 )

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 6 mappings to external registries for ecto with 1 unique external prefixes.

Providers are various services that resolve CURIEs to URLs. The example CURIE ecto:0000001 is used to demonstrate the provides available for ecto. Generation of OLS and BioPortal URLs requires additional programmatic logic beyond string formatting.
