Identifier Standards
- Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers
-
Local unique identifiers in InterPro should match this
regular expression:
^IPR\d{6}$ - Example Local Unique Identifier
- IPR016380 Resolve
- Pattern for CURIES
-
Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from InterPro should match
this regular expression:
^interpro:IPR\d{6}$ - Example CURIE
- interpro:IPR016380
- Format String for RDF URIs
- http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/IPR_$1
- Example RDF URI
- http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/IPR_IPR016380

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 IPR016380 is used to demonstrate the providers
available for InterPro. Some providers may use a different example, which is displayed in the table below.
A guide for curating additional providers can be found
here.
