SILVA is a resource of aligned ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene sequences for Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukaryotes.
It assigns internal, auto-incremented integer identifiers to taxa. However, these identifiers are not persistent nor unique - if the label for a taxon is changed, it assigned a new identifier and the old identifier is removed.

Identifier Standards
- Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers
-
Local identifiers in SILVA Taxon should match this regular expression:
^\d+$ - Example Local Unique Identifier
- 11084
- Pattern for CURIES
-
Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from SILVA Taxon should match this regular expression:
^silva\.taxon:\d+$ - Example CURIE
- silva.taxon:11084

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).
This resource does not have any providers. Please consider contributing one after reading the curation guide.
