FoodOn is a comprehensive and easily accessible global farm-to-fork ontology about food that accurately and consistently describes foods commonly known in cultures from around the world. It is a consortium-driven project built to interoperate with the The Open Biological and Biomedical Ontology Foundry library of ontologies.

FOODON
Local identifiers in The Food Ontology should match this
regular expression:
^[0-9]{8}$
Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from The Food Ontology should match
this regular expression:
^foodon:[0-9]{8}$
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 The Food Ontology, the banana looks like
FOODON:
.
Therefore, you may see local unique identifiers for this resource that look like
FOODON:03307879
(instead of the canonical form 03307879
) and CURIEs for this resource that look like
foodon:FOODON:03307879
(instead of the canonical form foodon:03307879
).
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
10 mappings to external registries for foodon
with
2 unique external prefixes.
Registry Name | Registry Metaprefix | External Prefix | Curate |

Providers are various services that resolve CURIEs to URLs. The example CURIE
foodon:03307879
is used to demonstrate the provides available for
foodon
. Generation of OLS and BioPortal URLs requires additional programmatic
logic beyond string formatting.
