The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 4 mappings to external registries for this resource with 3 unique external prefixes.

Providers are various services that resolve CURIEs to URLs. The example CURIE vfb:00000001 is used to demonstrate the provides available for this resource. Generation of OLS and BioPortal URLs requires additional programmatic logic beyond string formatting.
