The GO reference collection is a set of abstracts that can be cited in the GO ontologies (e.g. as dbxrefs for term definitions) and annotation files (in the Reference column). It provides two types of reference; It can be used to provide details of why specific Evidence codes (see http://identifiers.org/eco/) are assigned, or to present abstract-style descriptions of "GO content" meetings at which substantial changes in the ontologies are discussed and made.
go.ref
Local identifiers in Gene Ontology Database references should match this
regular expression:
^\d{7}$
Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Gene Ontology Database references should match
this regular expression:
^go\.ref:\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 Gene Ontology Database references, the banana looks like
GO_REF:
.
Therefore, you may see local unique identifiers for this resource that look like
GO_REF:0000041
(instead of the canonical form 0000041
) and CURIEs for this resource that look like
go.ref:GO_REF:0000041
(instead of the canonical form go.ref:0000041
).
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 4 mappings to external registries for this resource with 2 unique external prefixes.

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 0000041
is used to demonstrate the providers
available for Gene Ontology Database references. A guide for curating additional providers can be found
here.
