The local unique identifier 0000690 is used to demonstrate the providers available for C. elegans development ontology. 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.
