Identifiers.org Central Registry

General Information

The Identifiers.org Central Registry service provides a centralized directory of Compact Identifiers. This website allows performing searches on the registry by using the search bar on the right side or the Registry Browser. Resource maintainers can also find the Prefix Registration Request form to request a prefix in Identifiers.org for their databases or services.

		Before: The core of the Registry is a catalogue of data collections (corresponding to e.g. controlled vocabularies, databases), their URIs and the corresponding physical URLs (or resources). These resources are monitored daily to ensure data accessibility and the validity of the resolution mechanism.
		After: The Identifiers.org Central Registry service provides a centralized directory of Compact Identifiers. This website allows performing searches on the registry by using the search bar on the right side or the Registry Browser. Resource maintainers can also find the Prefix Registration Request form to request a prefix in Identifiers.org for their databases or services.
