The bundled\nvalidator handles both `ORPHA:558` and OLS’s `Orphanet:558`; this is not a universal alias rule. Landing-page columns come from\nBioregistry mappings (`providers.miriam`, `mappings.ontobee`), not from templating that\npreferred prefix: `ORPHA:558` is a 400, `orphanet:558` is a 200, and OBA has no Identifiers.org\nnamespace at all. Empty cells mean the service does not host the prefix.

The legacy `safe`\ncolumn and `zooma_safe` label mean only HIGH\u002FGOOD; `--exact-only` remains an alias for the\nconfidence filter. `evidence`\u002F`source` come from underlying `derivedFrom` provenance, because\nthe outer wrapper can say `ZOOMA_INFERRED_FROM_CURATED` even for embedding matches.\nRun `validate_terms.py` and review the meaning before accepting a candidate.\n\n## API behaviour that will mislead you\n\nReviewed on 2026-10-01 against current official documentation\u002Fsource and public HTTP probes.\nCounts and records are lookup-date snapshots.

Use `providers.miriam` from `\u002Fapi\u002Freference\u002F{CURIE}`; omit the URL when that mapping is missing (OBA, XAO, ECTO) |\n| Ontobee search | HTML page only — no JSON API; do not scrape it |\n\n## Choosing the ontology\n\nMONDO for disease, HP for phenotype, UBERON for tissue, CL for cell type, EFO for assay, ChEBI for\ncompounds and NCBITaxon for organism. PATO sex\u002F`normal` terms are appropriate only when the\ntarget schema permits them and the source data establish the relevant state; missing disease\nor a control-group label does not establish health. Prefix-to-OLS-id mappings (`HP`\nis served as `hp`, `Orphanet` as `ordo`), branch roots for `--branch`, and the overlapping-ontology\njudgement calls are in `references\u002Fontology-registry.md`.\n\n## Reporting results\n\nGive the ID **and** the label, and say how each was matched. A table of bare IDs cannot be\nreviewed. State unresolved terms explicitly rather than filling them with the nearest hit.\n\nRecord the lookup date, ontology identifier, and ontology version IRI or release metadata\nwhen available, alongside the original input and selected term IRI. OLS serves changing\nontology releases, so a live validation is evidence for that lookup date; preserve the\nresponse or exported mapping when an analysis must be reproduced. Fetch `GET https:\u002F\u002Fwww.ebi.ac.uk\u002Fols4\u002Fapi\u002Fontologies\u002F{ontology}` for `config.versionIri`,\n`config.version`, and `loaded`\u002F`updated`; these may be null. A live OLS check does not validate\nagainst an archive’s pinned ontology release. Use that release and its validator for submission.\n\n## References\n\n- `references\u002Fols4-api.md` — endpoints, parameters, response fields, and every verified OLS trap.\n- `references\u002Fcompanion-apis.md` — Bioregistry, Identifiers.org, ZOOMA, and Ontobee: when to use\n  each, and the traps that make an unfiltered or synonym-prefix call look successful.\n- `references\u002Fontology-registry.md` — prefix\u002Fontology-id table, branch roots, which ontology owns\n  which concept.\n- `references\u002Fcuration-rules.md` — candidate-selection procedure, normalisations to retry,\n  auditing an existing table, obsolete terms, cross-ontology mapping.\n\n## Citing Scientific Agent Skills\n\nThis skill is part of Scientific Agent Skills by K-Dense.

Landing-page columns come from\nBioregistry mappings (`providers.miriam`, `mappings.ontobee`), not from templating that\npreferred prefix: `ORPHA:558` is a 400, `orphanet:558` is a 200, and OBA has no Identifiers.org\nnamespace at all. Empty cells mean the service does not host the prefix. This script does\n**not** say the term exists; that is still `validate_terms.py`.\n\n## Map lab shorthand (ZOOMA)\n\n```bash\n# after resolve_terms.py returned unresolved \u002F partial\npython3 map_terms.py PBMC --ontology cl --high-confidence-only\n```\n\n`--ontology` is required by this client; it requests defining terms in the selected ontologies.\nThe public v2 compatibility endpoint remains supported, while current ZOOMA docs also expose v3.\nHIGH\u002FGOOD are ranking buckets, not calibrated probabilities or exact matches. The legacy `safe`\ncolumn and `zooma_safe` label mean only HIGH\u002FGOOD; `--exact-only` remains an alias for the\nconfidence filter. `evidence`\u002F`source` come from underlying `derivedFrom` provenance, because\nthe outer wrapper can say `ZOOMA_INFERRED_FROM_CURATED` even for embedding matches.\nRun `validate_terms.py` and review the meaning before accepting a candidate.\n\n## API behaviour that will mislead you\n\nReviewed on 2026-10-01 against current official documentation\u002Fsource and public HTTP probes.\nCounts and records are lookup-date snapshots. Full detail in `references\u002Fols4-api.md`.\n\n| Trap | Consequence |\n| --- | --- |\n| `exact=true` is exact **token** matching | `liver` returns 161 hits in UBERON; adding `queryFields=label` returns 1 |\n| `\u002Fsearch` never returns `is_obsolete` or `term_replaced_by` | Named in `fieldList` they are dropped silently; only term detail can answer \"is this ID still current\" |\n| `ontology=efo` returns MONDO and CL hits | Ontologies import each other; filter on the CURIE prefix yourself |\n| The same term appears once per importing ontology | Deduplicate on `obo_id`, keep `is_defining_ontology: true` |\n| An `obo_id` query can miss a term | IRI fallback remains necessary for Orphanet; the former MONDO index gap is now fixed |\n| `obsoletes=true` on the v1 search API | Currently selects obsolete-only results; the helper merges two queries when inclusion is requested |\n| `synonym` combines scopes | `iecur` is a related synonym of liver; it must not become an exact synonym match |\n| IRIs are not all OBO PURLs | EFO and Orphanet use their own namespaces — resolve IRIs, do not template them |\n| OxO has changed | OxO2 is live and supports compatibility routes; inspect mapping predicates and provenance, not just cross-reference reachability |\n| A branch check does not exclude cell types from anatomy | CARO puts `cell` under `anatomical structure`; constrain the prefix too |\n| ZOOMA confidence and provenance | HIGH can be lexical and GOOD can be a narrower organ part; confidence is not an acceptance decision |\n| Identifiers.org synonym prefixes | `HPO:0001250` is HTTP 400; Bioregistry accepted the same CURIE |\n| Identifiers.org encoded colon | `HP%3A0001250` is HTTP 400; the path must keep `:` |\n| Bioregistry `preferred_prefix` is not the Identifiers.org namespace | `ORPHA:558` is 400; `orphanet:558` is 200. `hp:0001250` and `chebi:15377` are 400 because those namespaces embed the prefix in the LUI. Use `providers.miriam` from `\u002Fapi\u002Freference\u002F{CURIE}`; omit the URL when that mapping is missing (OBA, XAO, ECTO) |\n| Ontobee search | HTML page only — no JSON API; do not scrape it |\n\n## Choosing the ontology\n\nMONDO for disease, HP for phenotype, UBERON for tissue, CL for cell type, EFO for assay, ChEBI for\ncompounds and NCBITaxon for organism. PATO sex\u002F`normal` terms are appropriate only when the\ntarget schema permits them and the source data establish the relevant state; missing disease\nor a control-group label does not establish health. Prefix-to-OLS-id mappings (`HP`\nis served as `hp`, `Orphanet` as `ordo`), branch roots for `--branch`, and the overlapping-ontology\njudgement calls are in `references\u002Fontology-registry.md`.\n\n## Reporting results\n\nGive the ID **and** the label, and say how each was matched. A table of bare IDs cannot be\nreviewed. State unresolved terms explicitly rather than filling them with the nearest hit.\n\nRecord the lookup date, ontology identifier, and ontology version IRI or release metadata\nwhen available, alongside the original input and selected term IRI. OLS serves changing\nontology releases, so a live validation is evidence for that lookup date; preserve the\nresponse or exported mapping when an analysis must be reproduced. Fetch `GET https:\u002F\u002Fwww.ebi.ac.uk\u002Fols4\u002Fapi\u002Fontologies\u002F{ontology}` for `config.versionIri`,\n`config.version`, and `loaded`\u002F`updated`; these may be null. A live OLS check does not validate\nagainst an archive’s pinned ontology release. Use that release and its validator for submission.\n\n## References\n\n- `references\u002Fols4-api.md` — endpoints, parameters, response fields, and every verified OLS trap.\n- `references\u002Fcompanion-apis.md` — Bioregistry, Identifiers.org, ZOOMA, and Ontobee: when to use\n  each, and the traps that make an unfiltered or synonym-prefix call look successful.\n- `references\u002Fontology-registry.md` — prefix\u002Fontology-id table, branch roots, which ontology owns\n  which concept.\n- `references\u002Fcuration-rules.md` — candidate-selection procedure, normalisations to retry,\n  auditing an existing table, obsolete terms, cross-ontology mapping.\n\n## Citing Scientific Agent Skills\n\nThis skill is part of Scientific Agent Skills by K-Dense.
