Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in Carbohydrate Active EnZYmes should match this regular expression:
^(GT|GH|PL|CE|CBM)\d+(\_\d+)?$

Example Local Unique Identifier

GT10   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Carbohydrate Active EnZYmes should match this regular expression:
^cazy:(GT|GH|PL|CE|CBM)\d+(\_\d+)?$

Example CURIE

cazy:GT10

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 8 mappings to external registries for cazy with 4 unique external prefixes.

Providers are various services that resolve CURIEs to URLs. The example CURIE cazy:GT10 is used to demonstrate the provides available for cazy. Generation of OLS and BioPortal URLs requires additional programmatic logic beyond string formatting.

Additional providers curated in the Bioregistry are listed here.
