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.
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.
