Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local unique identifiers in BioPortal should match this regular expression:
^(\d+)|(\w+)$

Example Local Unique Identifiers

GO   Resolve
FBBi   Resolve
SEPIO   Resolve
pseudo   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from BioPortal should match this regular expression:

Example CURIEs

bioportal:GO
bioportal:FBBi
bioportal:SEPIO

Synapse.org external links

Mappings from records in Bioregistry to external registries comprises the metaregistry. This resource has 7 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 GO is used to demonstrate the providers available for BioPortal. 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.
