The Identifiers.org registry contains registered namespace and provider prefixes with associated access URIs for a large number of high quality data collections. These prefixes are used in web resolution of compact identifiers of the form “PREFIX:ACCESSION” or "PROVIDER/PREFIX:ACCESSION” commonly used to specify bioinformatics and other data resources.
mir
Local identifiers in Identifiers.org Registry should match this
regular expression:
^\d{8}$
Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Identifiers.org Registry should match
this regular expression:
^mir:\d{8}$
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 , the banana looks like
MIR:.
Therefore, you may see local unique identifiers for this resource that look like
MIR:00100037
(instead of the canonical form 00100037) and CURIEs for this resource that look like
mir:MIR:00100037
(instead of the canonical form mir:00100037).
The Bioregistry will automatically strip off the banana when standardizing local unique identifiers and CURIEs.
A summary of the relations in the Bioregistry schema can be found here.
Mappings from records in Bioregistry to external registries comprises the metaregistry. This resource has 3 mappings to external registries with 1 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 00100037 is used to demonstrate the providers
available for Identifiers.org Registry. Some providers may use a different example, which is displayed in the table below.
A guide for curating additional providers can be found
here.
