Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in Phenotype And Trait Ontology should match this regular expression:
^\d{7}$

Example Local Unique Identifier

0001998   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Phenotype And Trait Ontology should match this regular expression:
^pato:\d{7}$

Example CURIE

pato:0001998

MIRIAM Namespace Embedded in LUI

The legacy MIRIAM standard for generating CURIEs with this resource annotates the 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 Phenotype And Trait Ontology, the banana looks like PATO:. Therefore, you may see local unique identifiers for this resource that look like PATO:0001998 (instead of the canonical form 0001998) and CURIEs for this resource that look like pato:PATO:0001998 (instead of the canonical form pato:0001998). 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 12 mappings to external registries for pato with 2 unique external prefixes.

Providers are various services that resolve CURIEs to URLs. The example CURIE pato:0001998 is used to demonstrate the provides available for pato. Generation of OLS and BioPortal URLs requires additional programmatic logic beyond string formatting.

Additional providers curated in the Bioregistry are listed here.
