Each ontology MUST have a unique IRI in the form of an OBO Foundry permanent URL (PURL). The PURL must include the ontology namespace, which is a short string of letters (usually 2-5) that represents the ontology. Namespaces MUST be approved by the OBO Foundry Operations Committee. Every element (class, property, etc.) created by the ontology MUST use the namespace in the identifier of each element, as specified in the OBO Foundry [ID policy](http://www.obofoundry.org/id-policy).
