The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 6 mappings to external registries for this resource with 2 unique external prefixes.

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

http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/PCL_$1

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 0011124 is used to demonstrate the providers available for Provisional Cell Ontology. Some providers may use a different example, which is displayed in the table below. A guide for curating additional providers can be found here.
