A lot of the raw github URLs suggest the prefix has an O in it, e.g. dhbao
https://github.com/brain-bican/developing_human_brain_atlas_ontology/raw/main/dhbao-base.owl
However we have historically used this without the o. In retrospect, having the O is better to increase global uniqueness but this will take some coordinating to change

[close if we think this is not Uberon's responsibility]
It's good that Allen are producing the OWL themselves. I wish that they provided a central source of truth with table of downloads
Right now one has to navigate to individual repos like https://github.com/brain-bican/developing_human_brain_atlas_ontology/, test the URLs in the README, discover they don't work, then fall back on the uberon makefile as SoT
Bioportal has this from 2009 https://bioportal.bioontology.org/ontologies/ABA-AMB
Nothing in OLS
Bioregistry has entries for all of them
https://bioregistry.io/registry/dhba
But they have no links to the Allen repos, or to the PURLs we use (which are not resolvable). It seems to resolve to an internal bioregistry ontology browser?? https://biopragmatics.github.io/providers/dhba/10153/
This is not really our mess but we may be the best ones to fix. The simplest thing would be to register in OBO but it's not worth trying to make these conform to principles that are not relevant (this falls under the databases-as-ontologies pattern)
