Registry NIF Standard Ontology: Neurolex

The NeuroLex project is a dynamic lexicon of terms used in neuroscience. It is supported by the Neuroscience Information Framework project and incorporates information from the NIF standardised ontology (NIFSTD), and its predecessor, the Biomedical Informatics Research Network Lexicon (BIRNLex).

Identifier Standards

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers: Local identifiers in NIF Standard Ontology: Neurolex should match this regular expression:
^\d+$
Example Local Unique Identifier: 4 Resolve
Pattern for CURIES: Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from NIF Standard Ontology: Neurolex should match this regular expression:
^neurolex:\d+$
Example CURIE: neurolex:4

Providers

Suggest

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 4 is used to demonstrate the providers available for NIF Standard Ontology: Neurolex. Some providers may use a different example, which is displayed in the table below. A guide for curating additional providers can be found here.
