Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in dbSNP Reference SNP number should match this regular expression:
^rs\d+$

Example Local Unique Identifier

rs121909098   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from dbSNP Reference SNP number should match this regular expression:
^dbsnp:rs\d+$

Example CURIE

dbsnp:rs121909098

FHIR External Terminologies

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 15 mappings to external registries for this resource with 8 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 rs121909098 is used to demonstrate the providers available for dbSNP Reference SNP number. 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.
