The Gender, Sex, and Sexual Orientation (GSSO) ontology is an interdisciplinary ontology connecting terms from biology, medicine, psychology, sociology, and gender studies, aiming to bridge gaps between linguistic variations inside and outside of the health care environment. A large focus of the ontology is its consideration of LGBTQIA+ terminology.

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in Gender, Sex, and Sexual Orientation Ontology should match this regular expression:
^\d{6}$

Example Local Unique Identifier

002368   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Gender, Sex, and Sexual Orientation Ontology should match this regular expression:
^gsso:\d{6}$

Example CURIE

gsso:002368

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 GSSO:. Therefore, you might see local unique identifiers written out as CURIEs.

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 6 mappings to external registries for gsso with 1 unique external prefixes.

Providers are various services that resolve CURIEs to URLs. The example CURIE gsso:002368 is used to demonstrate the provides available for gsso. Generation of OLS and BioPortal URLs requires additional programmatic logic beyond string formatting.
