Local identifiers in FlowRepository should match this regular expression:
^FR\-FCM\-\w{4}$

Example Local Unique Identifier

FR-FCM-ZYGW   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from FlowRepository should match this regular expression:
^flowrepository:FR\-FCM\-\w{4}$

Example CURIE

flowrepository:FR-FCM-ZYGW

Publications

• 2012 FlowRepository: a resource of annotated flow cytometry datasets associated with peer-reviewed publications
• 2012 Preparing a Minimum Information about a Flow Cytometry Experiment (MIFlowCyt) compliant manuscript using the International Society for Advancement of Cytometry (ISAC) FCS file repository (FlowRepository.org)

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 5 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 FR-FCM-ZYGW is used to demonstrate the providers available for FlowRepository. A guide for curating additional providers can be found here.
