Identifier Standards
- Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers
-
Local identifiers in MoonProt should match this regular expression:
^\d+$ - Example Local Unique Identifier
- 4 Resolve
- Pattern for CURIES
-
Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from MoonProt should match this regular expression:
^moonprot:\d+$ - Example CURIE
- moonprot:4

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