Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in Aclame should match this regular expression:
^\d+$

Example Local Unique Identifier

2   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Aclame should match this regular expression:
^mge:\d+$

Example CURIE

mge:2

MIRIAM Namespace Embedded in LUI

The legacy MIRIAM standard for generating CURIEs with this resource annotates the namespaceEmbeddedInLUI as true. This means that you may see local unique identifiers that include a redundant prefix and delimiter (also known as a banana) and therefore look like a CURIE. For Aclame, the banana looks like mge:. Therefore, you may see local unique identifiers for this resource that look like mge:2 (instead of the canonical form 2) and CURIEs for this resource that look like mge:mge:2 (instead of the canonical form mge:2). The Bioregistry will automatically strip off the banana when standardizing local unique identifiers and CURIEs.

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 7 mappings to external registries for this resource with 5 unique external prefixes.

A provider turns a local unique identifiers from a resource into a URI. Many providers are also resolvable as URLs (i.e., they can be used in a web browser).

The local unique identifier 2 is used to demonstrate the providers available for Aclame. A guide for curating additional providers can be found here.

Additional providers curated in the Bioregistry are listed here. These are typically inherited from Identifiers.org or Prefix Commons, and need extra curation.
