Identifier Standards
- Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers
-
Local identifiers in Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes should match this regular expression:
^(\d|\w)+-\d$ - Example Local Unique Identifier
- LL379-9 Resolve
- Pattern for CURIES
-
Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes should match this regular expression:
^loinc:(\d|\w)+-\d$ - Example CURIE
- loinc:LL379-9
- Pattern for RDF URIs
- http://loinc.org/rdf/$1
- Example RDF URI
- http://loinc.org/rdf/LL379-9

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 LL379-9 is used to demonstrate the providers
available for Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes. Some providers may use a different example, which is displayed in the table below.
A guide for curating additional providers can be found
here.
| Provider Name | Provider Code | URI |
|---|---|---|
| Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes | loinc |
https://loinc.org/LL379-9 |
| Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes (RDF) | rdf |

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