Identifier Standards
- Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers
-
Local identifiers in Cambridge Structural Database should match this regular expression:
^[A-Z]{6}(\d{2})?$ - Example Local Unique Identifier
- PELNAW Resolve
- Pattern for CURIES
-
Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Cambridge Structural Database should match this regular expression:
^csd:[A-Z]{6}(\d{2})?$ - Example CURIE
- csd:PELNAW

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