OIDs provide a persistent identification of objects based on a hierarchical structure of Registration Authorities (RA), where each parent has an object identifier and allocates object identifiers to child nodes.
oid
Local identifiers in OID Repository should match this
regular expression:
^[\d.]+$
Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from OID Repository should match
this regular expression:
^oid:[\d.]+$
The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are
2 mappings to external registries for oid
.
Registry Name | Metaprefix | External Prefix |
---|---|---|
Identifiers.org
![]() |
miriam |
oid
|
Name-to-Thing
![]() |
n2t |
oid
|
Providers are various services that resolve CURIEs to URLs. The example CURIE
oid:2.16.840
is used to demonstrate the provides available for
oid
. Generation of OLS and BioPortal URLs requires additional programmatic
logic beyond string formatting.
