Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers: Local identifiers in BioModels Database should match this regular expression:
^((BIOMD|MODEL)\d{10})|(BMID\d{12})$
Example Local Unique Identifier: BIOMD0000000048 Resolve
Pattern for CURIES: Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from BioModels Database should match this regular expression:
^biomodels\.db:((BIOMD|MODEL)\d{10})|(BMID\d{12})$
Example CURIE: biomodels.db:BIOMD0000000048
Publications: 2006 BioModels Database: a free, centralized database of curated, published, quantitative kinetic models of biochemical and cellular systems
