Applicable Classes

Name Description Modifies Slot
Identifier A string used as a resolvable (external) identifier for an entity. This should be a CURIE in the form <database_prefix>:<local_identifier>. Bioregistry is used as the canonical reference for CURIE database prefixes; please use the prefix exactly as written in the Bioregistry entry.

If the string cannot be resolved to an URL, it should be added to the Name table instead.

This table is used for capturing external IDs. The internal CDM identifier should be used in the *_id field (e.g. feature_id, protein_id, contig_collection_id).
