Providers
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 bioregistry is used to demonstrate the providers
available for BioTools. Some providers may use a different example, which is displayed in the table below.
A guide for curating additional providers can be found
here.
