The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 13 mappings to external registries for ncbigene with 8 unique external prefixes.

When using this resource in RDF, the following URI format should be used:

http://purl.uniprot.org/geneid/$1

Providers are various services that resolve CURIEs to URLs. The example CURIE ncbigene:100010 is used to demonstrate the provides available for ncbigene. Generation of OLS and BioPortal URLs requires additional programmatic logic beyond string formatting.
