Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in Genomes Online Database should match this regular expression:
^[A-Z][a-z][0-9]+$

Example Local Unique Identifier

Gs0000008   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Genomes Online Database should match this regular expression:
^gold:[A-Z][a-z][0-9]+$

Example CURIE

gold:Gs0000008

Has incoming URI collisions

The following resources share a URI format string with gold:
gold.meta

When generating an extended prefix map, their respective CURIE prefixes and URI prefixes are merged into the record for gold. If you believe that these are distinct semantic spaces and should not be merged, please open a new issue on the Bioregistry issue tracker for discussion.

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 Gs0000008 is used to demonstrate the providers available for Genomes Online Database. 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.
