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 0000001
is used to demonstrate the providers
available for Basic Formal Ontology. A guide for curating additional providers can be found
here.
