MIRIAM Registry

It contains the set of community-approved namespaces for databases and resources serving, primarily, the biological sciences domain.

The URN form of identifiers requires the use of Web Services or programmatic means to access the referenced record.

This means that one cannot simply put the URN form into a browser window and arrive at the referenced information.

To enable efficient use of the MIRIAM Registry and the rapid adoption of the annotation scheme, a number of supporting features are provided.

[5] The MIRIAM Registry is used by several worldwide projects such as BioModels Database,[6][7] SABIO-RK,[8] COPASI,[9] A more thorough listing can be found on the website.
