Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in Enzyme Commission Code should match this regular expression:
^\d{1,2}(((\.\d{1,3}){1,3})|(\.\d+){2}\.n\d{1,3})?$

Example Local Unique Identifiers

1.1.1.1   Resolve
2   Resolve
2.3   Resolve
2.3.1   Resolve
2.3.1.n12   Resolve
3.1.26.n2   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Enzyme Commission Code should match this regular expression:
^eccode:\d{1,2}(((\.\d{1,3}){1,3})|(\.\d+){2}\.n\d{1,3})?$

Example CURIEs

eccode:1.1.1.1
eccode:2
eccode:2.3
eccode:2.3.1
eccode:2.3.1.n12
eccode:3.1.26.n2

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 14 mappings to external registries for this resource with 11 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 1.1.1.1 is used to demonstrate the providers available for Enzyme Commission Code. 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.
