The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 9 mappings to external registries for hmdb with 6 unique external prefixes.

Providers are various services that resolve CURIEs to URLs. The example CURIE hmdb:HMDB00001 is used to demonstrate the provides available for hmdb. Generation of OLS and BioPortal URLs requires additional programmatic logic beyond string formatting.
