OBCS stands for the Ontology of Biological and Clinical Statistics. OBCS is an ontology in the domain of biological and clinical statistics. It is aligned with the Basic Formal Ontology (BFO) and the Ontology for Biomedical Investigations (OBI). OBCS imports all possible biostatistics terms in OBI and includes many additional biostatistics terms, some of which were proposed and discussed in the OBI face-to-face workshop in Ann Arbor in 2012.

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in Ontology of Biological and Clinical Statistics should match this regular expression:
^\d{7}$

Example Local Unique Identifier

0000121   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Ontology of Biological and Clinical Statistics should match this regular expression:
^obcs:\d{7}$

Example CURIE

obcs:0000121

Publications

2016 The Ontology of Biological and Clinical Statistics (OBCS) for standardized and reproducible statistical analysis.

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

Providers are various services that resolve CURIEs to URLs. The example CURIE obcs:0000121 is used to demonstrate the provides available for obcs. Generation of OLS and BioPortal URLs requires additional programmatic logic beyond string formatting.
