IMGT, the international ImMunoGeneTics project, is a collection of high-quality integrated databases specialising in Immunoglobulins, T cell receptors and the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) of all vertebrate species. IMGT/HLA is a database for sequences of the human MHC, referred to as HLA. It includes all the official sequences for the WHO Nomenclature Committee For Factors of the HLA System. This collection references allele information through the WHO nomenclature.

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in IMGT HLA should match this regular expression:
^[A-Z0-9*:]+$

Example Local Unique Identifier

A*01:01:01:01   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from IMGT HLA should match this regular expression:
^imgt\.hla:[A-Z0-9*:]+$

Example CURIE

Mappings from records in Semantic Farm to external registries comprises the metaregistry. This resource has 10 mappings to external registries with 8 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 A*01:01:01:01 is used to demonstrate the providers available for IMGT HLA. Some providers may use a different example, which is displayed in the table below. A guide for curating additional providers can be found here.

Additional providers curated in the Semantic Farm are listed here. These are typically inherited from Identifiers.org or Prefix Commons, and need extra curation.
