Starting in the fall of 2007, a collaborative group of influenza researchers have established an influenza ontology. The influenza ontology is an application ontology. Consolidated influenza sequence and surveillance terms from resources such as the BioHealthBase (BHB), a Bioinformatics Resource Center (BRC) for Biodefense and Emerging and Re-emerging Infectious Diseases, the Centers for Excellence in Influenza Research and Surveillance (CEIRS)

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

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

Example Local Unique Identifier

0000404   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

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

Example CURIE

FLU:0000404

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Semantic Farm and other registries. There are 4 mappings to external registries for this resource with 1 unique external prefixes.

When using this resource in RDF, the following URI format should be used:

http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/FLU_$1

A provider turns a local unique identifiers from a resource into a URI. Many providers are also resolvable as URLs (i.e., they can be used in a web browser).

The local unique identifier 0000404 is used to demonstrate the providers available for Influenza Ontology. Some providers may use a different example, which is displayed in the table below. A guide for curating additional providers can be found here.
