Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in Carbohydrate Active EnZYmes should match this regular expression:
^(GT|GH|PL|CE|CBM)\d+(\_\d+)?$

Example Local Unique Identifier

GT10   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Carbohydrate Active EnZYmes should match this regular expression:
^cazy:(GT|GH|PL|CE|CBM)\d+(\_\d+)?$

Example CURIE

cazy:GT10

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 8 mappings to external registries for this resource with 4 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 GT10 is used to demonstrate the providers available for Carbohydrate Active EnZYmes. 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.
