Ontology of standardized units
uo
UO
Local identifiers in Units of measurement ontology should match this
regular expression:
^\d{7}$
Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Units of measurement ontology should match
this regular expression:
^uo:\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 Units of measurement ontology, the banana looks like
UO:
.
Therefore, you may see local unique identifiers for this resource that look like
UO:0000080
(instead of the canonical form 0000080
) and CURIEs for this resource that look like
uo:UO:0000080
(instead of the canonical form uo:0000080
).
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
10 mappings to external registries for uo
with
2 unique external prefixes.
Registry Name | Registry Metaprefix | External Prefix | Curate |

Providers are various services that resolve CURIEs to URLs. The example CURIE
uo:0000080
is used to demonstrate the provides available for
uo
. Generation of OLS and BioPortal URLs requires additional programmatic
logic beyond string formatting.
