The Research Resource Identification Initiative provides RRIDs to 4 main classes of resources: Antibodies, Cell Lines, Model Organisms, and Databases / Software tools.: Antibodies, Model Organisms, and Databases / Software tools. The initiative works with participating journals to intercept manuscripts in the publication process that use these resources, and allows publication authors to incorporate RRIDs within the methods sections. It also provides resolver services that access curated data from 10 data sources: the antibody registry (a curated catalog of antibodies), the SciCrunch registry (a curated catalog of software tools and databases), and model organism nomenclature authority databases (MGI, FlyBase, WormBase, RGD), as well as various stock centers. These RRIDs are aggregated and can be searched through SciCrunch.

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in Research Resource Identification should match this regular expression:
^[a-zA-Z]+.+$

Example Local Unique Identifier
AB_262044   Resolve
Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Research Resource Identification should match this regular expression:
^rrid:[a-zA-Z]+.+$

Example CURIE
rrid:AB_262044
MIRIAM Namespace Embedded in LUI
The legacy MIRIAM standard for generating CURIEs with this resource annotates the namespaceEmbeddedInLUI as true. This means that you may see local unique identifiers that include a redundant prefix and delimiter (also known as a banana) and therefore look like a CURIE. For Research Resource Identification, the banana looks like RRID:. Therefore, you may see local unique identifiers for this resource that look like RRID:AB_262044 (instead of the canonical form AB_262044) and CURIEs for this resource that look like rrid:RRID:AB_262044 (instead of the canonical form rrid:AB_262044). The Bioregistry will automatically strip off the banana when standardizing local unique identifiers and CURIEs.

Providers

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 AB_262044 is used to demonstrate the providers available for Research Resource Identification. A guide for curating additional providers can be found here.
