Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in Ontology Concept Identifiers should match this regular expression:
^[0-9]{12}$

Example Local Unique Identifier

190000021540   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Ontology Concept Identifiers should match this regular expression:
^ocid:[0-9]{12}$

Example CURIE

ocid:190000021540

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 Ontology Concept Identifiers, the banana looks like ocid:. Therefore, you may see local unique identifiers for this resource that look like ocid:190000021540 (instead of the canonical form 190000021540) and CURIEs for this resource that look like ocid:ocid:190000021540 (instead of the canonical form ocid:190000021540). The Bioregistry will automatically strip off the banana when standardizing local unique identifiers and CURIEs.

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 1 mappings to external registries for this resource 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 190000021540 is used to demonstrate the providers available for Ontology Concept Identifiers. A guide for curating additional providers can be found here.
