The Ontology for Parasite Lifecycle (OPL) models the life cycle stage details of various parasites, including Trypanosoma sp., Leishmania major, and Plasmodium sp., etc. In addition to life cycle stages, the ontology also models necessary contextual details, such as host information, vector information, and anatomical location. OPL is based on the Basic Formal Ontology (BFO) and follows the rules set by the OBO Foundry consortium.

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 7 mappings to external registries for this resource with 2 unique external prefixes.

When using this resource in RDF, the following URI format should be used:

http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/OPL_$1

Providers are various services that resolve CURIEs to URLs. The example CURIE OPL:0000319 is used to demonstrate the provides available for this resource. Generation of OLS and BioPortal URLs requires additional programmatic logic beyond string formatting.
