PURL Server

The NCBO PURL Server represents the first official dedicated biomedical PURL (Persistent URL) server to solely serve the needs of the biomedical community. NCBO has partnered with OCLC to use the same PURL Server software OCLC officially deployed and announced in March 2009 (http://www.purl.org). The PURL Server is dedicated for the biomedical communities to enable identification and sharing of persistent URLs for biomedical resources (e.g., ontologies, concepts, and mappings). It is accessible through http://purl.bioontology.org.
