Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in Chemical Entities of Biological Interest should match this regular expression:
^\d+$

Example Local Unique Identifier
138488   Resolve
Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Chemical Entities of Biological Interest should match this regular expression:
^CHEBI:\d+$

Example CURIE
CHEBI:138488
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 Chemical Entities of Biological Interest, the banana looks like CHEBI:. Therefore, you may see local unique identifiers for this resource that look like CHEBI:138488 (instead of the canonical form 138488) and CURIEs for this resource that look like CHEBI:CHEBI:138488 (instead of the canonical form CHEBI:138488). The Bioregistry will automatically strip off the banana when standardizing local unique identifiers and CURIEs.
