Update High-quality Automated and Manual Annotation of microbial Proteomes

[JervenBolleman]

Prefix

hamap

Explanation

The purl for hamap signatures should be added as https://purl.expasy.org/hamap/signature/, a subset for hamap rules should also be created. I suggest the prefix hamap.rule, with the purl: https://purl.expasy.org/hamap/rule/.

These are new purl's maintained by the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, and will be the global identifiers for HAMAP resources into the future. https://purl.expasy.org/hamap/* supports content negotiation.

Hi @JervenBolleman, thanks! Looking into this further, I found the following.

The current hamap prefix in Bioregistry specifically resolves identifiers as rules, e.g., MF_01400 is resolved at the rule-specific URL: https://hamap.expasy.org/rule/MF_01400.

The identifiers between HAMAP rules and signatures are shared, e.g., for MF_00607 there is a rule https://hamap.expasy.org/rule/MF_00607 and a signature https://hamap.expasy.org/signature/MF_00607 resolution. Is this the case for every identifier, or are there instances of identifiers that are only rules and not signatures or vice versa?

Depending on the above, we have two choices to consider:

1. Retain hamap as a single prefix for HAMAP identifiers, but cover both the rule PURL (https://purl.expasy.org/hamap/rule/$1) and the signature PURL (https://purl.expasy.org/hamap/signature/$1) as two separate providers for these IDs.
2. Split hamap into two separate prefixes hamap.rule and hamap.signature each with its own dedicated PURL.
