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]+$

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.

Mappings from records in Bioregistry to external registries comprises the metaregistry. This resource has 6 mappings to external registries 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. 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.
