  Description     : community curated registry, meta-registry, and compact identifier resolver

 Here's what that means:
 .
 Registry
 .
 A collection of prefixes and metadata for ontologies, controlled vocabularies,
 and other semantic spaces. Some other well-known registries are the OBO Foundry,
 Identifiers.org, and the OLS.
 .
 Metaregistry
 .
 A collection of metadata about registries and mappings between their constituent prefixes.
 For example, ChEBI appears in all of the example registries from above.
 So far, the Bioregistry is the only metaregistry.
 .
 Resolver
 A tool for mapping compact URIs (CURIEs) of the form prefix:identifier to HTML
 and structured content providers. Some other well-known resolvers are Identifiers.org
 and Name-To-Thing.
