Description

The `Disease` object references `OntologyClass` for [ICD-O values](https://github.com/phenopackets/phenopacket-schema/blob/d3c75d358d99c8d479a2d433a9ea39cf71ad592d/src/main/proto/phenopackets/schema/v2/core/disease.proto#L47) used for `primary_site` annotations.

Which ICD-O ontology implementation does this refer to? While the codes themselves are well defined/known, It is no clear which (public) source for CURIEs would be recommended (in fact, exists).

Research direction

Start with src/main/proto/phenopackets/schema/v2/core/disease.proto at the linked primary_site annotation and trace how OntologyClass is used for ICD-O values. Determine which public CURIE source or ontology implementation the schema should recommend, then document or clarify that reference in the issue’s requested scope.
