We have been trying to use this mechanism to map Disease Ontology (DO) Identifiers to their respective URIs. A DO identifier contains the prefix DOID, which is considered an intrinsic part of the identifier (e.g. DOID:2841). However the related URI is http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/DOID_2841, where the colon changes for an underscore. On other identifiers in WIkidata mappings, this is solved by removing the prefix from the identifier and have the uri pattern as http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/DOID_$. This is however problematic since in most contexts where the identifiers are used, the prefix is considered an intrinsic part of the identifier. This also applies to Gene Ontology identifiers and MGI identifiers. Are there maybe more ways to format a URI pattern with its related identifier, the the $ only? > If a property commonly contains URIs, I would suggest to use the url > datatype > instead of the new external-id datatype.
