Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from InterPro should match this regular expression:
^interpro:IPR\d{6}$

Example CURIE

interpro:IPR016380

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 13 mappings to external registries for interpro with 7 unique external prefixes.

Providers are various services that resolve CURIEs to URLs. The example CURIE interpro:IPR016380 is used to demonstrate the provides available for interpro. Generation of OLS and BioPortal URLs requires additional programmatic logic beyond string formatting.

Additional providers curated in the Bioregistry are listed here.
