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. The actual
part that gets prefixed before the local unique identifier regex,
otherwise known as the banana, is
GO_REF:
.
Therefore, you might see local unique identifiers written out as CURIEs.
The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are
4 mappings to external registries for go.ref
with
2 unique external prefixes.
Registry Name | Registry Metaprefix | External Prefix | Curate |
---|---|---|---|

Providers are various services that resolve CURIEs to URLs. The example CURIE
go.ref:0000041
is used to demonstrate the provides available for
go.ref
. Generation of OLS and BioPortal URLs requires additional programmatic
logic beyond string formatting.
