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

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