Best practices for linking to GO terms, models, ontology etc

[suzi]

GO uses persistent uniform resource locator (PURLs) for all the objects it describes. If you use or provide links to the following entities, please ensure you are using PURLs. Examples:

• GO terms: https://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/GO_0022008
• GO_REFs: https://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/go/references/0000015
• GO-CAM models: https://model.geneontology.org/65c57c3400001018
• GO ontology (versions)
  • current: https://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/go/go.owl
  • snapshot: https://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/go/snapshot/go.owl
  • dated release: https://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/go/releases/2024-01-17/go.owl

Technical documentation can be found on the OBOFoundry GitHub site.
