IPI provides a top level guide to the main databases that describe the proteomes of higher eukaryotic organisms. IPI maintaisn a database of cross references between the primary data sources, it provides minimally redundant but complete sets of proteins for featured species, and it maintains stable and unique identifiers.

Mappings from records in Bioregistry to external registries comprises the metaregistry. This resource has 3 mappings to external registries with 2 unique external prefixes.

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 IPI00000001 is used to demonstrate the providers available for International Protein Index. Some providers may use a different example, which is displayed in the table below. A guide for curating additional providers can be found here.

Additional providers curated in the Bioregistry are listed here. These are typically inherited from Identifiers.org or Prefix Commons, and need extra curation.
