2010 ChemSpider: An Online Chemical Information Resource

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 10 mappings to external registries for this resource with 7 unique external prefixes.

When using this resource in RDF, the following URI format should be used:

http://rdf.chemspider.com/$1

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 56586 is used to demonstrate the providers available for ChemSpider. 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.
