Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in Software Heritage should match this regular expression:
^[1-9]:(cnt|dir|rel|rev|snp):[0-9a-f]+(;(origin|visit|anchor|path|lines)=\S+)*$

Example Local Unique Identifier

1:rev:309cf2674ee7a0749978cf8265ab91a60aea0f7d   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Software Heritage should match this regular expression:
^swh:[1-9]:(cnt|dir|rel|rev|snp):[0-9a-f]+(;(origin|visit|anchor|path|lines)=\S+)*$

Example CURIE

swh:1:rev:309cf2674ee7a0749978cf8265ab91a60aea0f7d

MIRIAM Namespace Embedded in LUI

The legacy MIRIAM standard for generating CURIEs with this resource includes the namespaceEmbeddedInLUI as true. The actual part that gets prefixed before the local unique identifier regex, otherwise known as the banana, is swh:. Therefore, you might see local unique identifiers written out as CURIEs.

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 3 mappings to external registries for swh.

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