The LIPID MAPS Lipid Classification System is comprised of eight lipid categories, each with its own subclassification hierarchy. All lipids in the LIPID MAPS Structure Database (LMSD) have been classified using this system and have been assigned LIPID MAPS ID's which reflects their position in the classification hierarchy.

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local unique identifiers in LIPID MAPS should match this regular expression:
^LM(FA|GL|GP|SP|ST|PR|SL|PK)[0-9]{4}([0-9a-zA-Z]{4,6})?$

Example Local Unique Identifier

LMPR0102010012   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from LIPID MAPS should match this regular expression:
^lipidmaps:LM(FA|GL|GP|SP|ST|PR|SL|PK)[0-9]{4}([0-9a-zA-Z]{4,6})?$

Example CURIE

lipidmaps:LMPR0102010012

ChEBI Data Sources WikiPathways Resources

Mappings from records in Semantic Farm to external registries comprises the metaregistry. This resource has 13 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 LMPR0102010012 is used to demonstrate the providers available for LIPID MAPS. 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.
