It would be nice to have http://identifiers.org/ncbiest (for expressed sequence tags) as a complement to http://identifiers.org/ncbigene and http://identifiers.org/ncbiprotein. I don't have any strong opinion on what the namespace should be called, nor whether the name of the collection is EST (as it would seem from their frontpage), dbEST (as it says in their breadcrumb and on Wikipedia) or nucest (as it says in their URL scheme) or NCBI EST (by analogy to NCBI Gene and NCBI Protein).
Hi Jon,
Thanks very much for your query. We actually have dbest in the identifiers.org registry here: http://identifiers.org/dbest/
I'm sorry you didn't find it, and we apologise for the inconvenience and time that has cost you as a consequence. We shall have to find/highlight better our current ways to search the Registry. For now, I have added NCBI EST as a synonym for this entry, in the hopes that it makes this entry more easily found for others.
Thanks very much!
Nick
Excellent, thanks!

Sorry, I spoke too soon. It seems the regular expression for dbest needs to
be relaxed to allow pure numbers:
http://identifiers.org/dbest/24343276
gives "'24343276' does not match the regular expression
'^[A-Z]\d+(.\d+)?$' for dbest."
But this link is indeed valid: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nucest/24343276
Best regards,
Jon Olav

Hi Jon,
I confess to hoping you would use the dbest 'name' which seems much more unique that the dbest id (for instance if you search across ncbi databases with BP100000 you will get only one result). In any case, I've now relaxed the regex to allow purely numerical ids. You should note however that if you enter an erroneous numerical id, due to the redirection that ncbi use, you could end up referencing a protein or other entity type. So use with care...
cheers!
Nick
