The Vaccine Ontology (VO) is a biomedical ontology in the domain of vaccine and vaccination. VO aims to standardize vaccine annotation, integrate various vaccine data, and support computer-assisted reasoning. VO supports basic vaccine R&D and clincal vaccine usage. VO is being developed as a community-based ontology with support and collaborations from the vaccine and bio-ontology communities.

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

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

Example Local Unique Identifier

0000093   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Vaccine Ontology should match this regular expression:
^vo:\d{7}$

Example CURIE

vo:0000093

Publications

• Ontology-based Precision Vaccinology for Deep Mechanism Understanding and Precision Vaccine Development
• 2012 Ontology representation and analysis of vaccine formulation and administration and their effects on vaccine immune responses.
• 2011 Mining of vaccine-associated IFN-γ gene interaction networks using the Vaccine Ontology.
• 2010 Bioinformatics analysis of Brucella vaccines and vaccine targets using VIOLIN.

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 9 mappings to external registries for vo with 3 unique external prefixes.

Providers are various services that resolve CURIEs to URLs. The example CURIE vo:0000093 is used to demonstrate the provides available for vo. Generation of OLS and BioPortal URLs requires additional programmatic logic beyond string formatting.
