The Disease Ontology has been developed as a standardized ontology for human disease with the purpose of providing the biomedical community with consistent, reusable and sustainable descriptions of human disease terms, phenotype characteristics and related medical vocabulary disease concepts.

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in Human Disease Ontology should match this regular expression:
^\d+$

Example Local Unique Identifier

0110974   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Human Disease Ontology should match this regular expression:
^doid:\d+$

Example CURIE

doid:0110974

MIRIAM Namespace Embedded in LUI

The legacy MIRIAM standard for generating CURIEs with this resource includes the namespaceEmbeddedInLUI as true. The actual part that gets prefixed before the local unique identifier regex, otherwise known as the banana, is DOID:. Therefore, you might see local unique identifiers written out as CURIEs.

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 12 mappings to external registries for doid with 5 unique external prefixes.

Providers are various services that resolve CURIEs to URLs. The example CURIE doid:0110974 is used to demonstrate the provides available for doid. Generation of OLS and BioPortal URLs requires additional programmatic logic beyond string formatting.

Additional providers curated in the Bioregistry are listed here.
