Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in Cell Line Ontology should match this regular expression:
^\d{7}$

Example Local Unique Identifier

0000091   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Cell Line Ontology should match this regular expression:
^CLO:\d{7}$

Example CURIE

CLO:0000091

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 11 mappings to external registries for this resource with 3 unique external prefixes.

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

http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/CLO_$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 0000091 is used to demonstrate the providers available for Cell Line Ontology. Some providers may use a different example, which is displayed in the table below. 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.
