FHIR External Terminologies

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 6 mappings to external registries for this resource with 3 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 BRAF is used to demonstrate the providers available for COSMIC Gene. A guide for curating additional providers can be found here.
