Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in Molecular Interaction Database should match this regular expression:
^\d{1,7}$

Example Local Unique Identifier

6978836   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Molecular Interaction Database should match this regular expression:
^mint:\d{1,7}$

Example CURIE

mint:6978836

Namespace Embedded in LUI

This resource has been annotated by the Bioregistry as having a potential namespace embedded in LUI. 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 Molecular Interaction Database, the banana looks like MINT-. Therefore, you may see local unique identifiers for this resource that look like MINT-6978836 (instead of the canonical form 6978836) and CURIEs for this resource that look like mint:MINT-6978836 (instead of the canonical form mint:6978836). 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 9 mappings to external registries for this resource with 6 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 6978836 is used to demonstrate the providers available for Molecular Interaction Database. 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.
