The LIPID MAPS Lipid Classification System is comprised of eight lipid categories, each with its own subclassification hierarchy. All lipids in the LIPID MAPS Structure Database (LMSD) have been classified using this system and have been assigned LIPID MAPS ID's which reflects their position in the classification hierarchy.

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in LIPID MAPS should match this regular expression:
^LM(FA|GL|GP|SP|ST|PR|SL|PK)[0-9]{4}([0-9a-zA-Z]{4,6})?$

Example Local Unique Identifier

LMPR0102010012   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from LIPID MAPS should match this regular expression:
^lipidmaps:LM(FA|GL|GP|SP|ST|PR|SL|PK)[0-9]{4}([0-9a-zA-Z]{4,6})?$

Example CURIE

lipidmaps:LMPR0102010012

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

Providers are various services that resolve CURIEs to URLs. The example CURIE lipidmaps:LMPR0102010012 is used to demonstrate the provides available for lipidmaps. Generation of OLS and BioPortal URLs requires additional programmatic logic beyond string formatting.
