Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in Ensembl Gene should match this regular expression:
^((ENS[FPTG]\d{11}(\.\d+)?)|(FB\w{2}\d{7})|(Y[A-Z]{2}\d{3}[a-zA-Z](\-[A-Z])?)|([A-Z_a-z0-9]+(\.)?(t)?(\d+)?([a-z])?))$

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Ensembl Gene should match this regular expression:
^ensembl:((ENS[FPTG]\d{11}(\.\d+)?)|(FB\w{2}\d{7})|(Y[A-Z]{2}\d{3}[a-zA-Z](\-[A-Z])?)|([A-Z_a-z0-9]+(\.)?(t)?(\d+)?([a-z])?))$

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 ENSG00000139618 is used to demonstrate the providers available for Ensembl Gene. A guide for curating additional providers can be found here.
