Bioregistry 0.5.5 Documentation

The Bioregistry is an integrative, open, community-driven meta-registry of databases, ontologies, and other nomenclature resources in the life sciences. It relies on an open code, open data, and open infrastructure paradigm to support its longevity along with a sustainable governance model that enables community curation and discussion.
