Registry lacks the "canonical" resource URI

[markwilkinson]

Hi all!
I'm a bit surprised that, when brokering the registration of an ontology term, the "canonical" URI of that term is not (consistently) among the choices. For example:

https://bioregistry.io/api/reference/edam:data_1153

prefix	"edam"
identifier	"data_1153"
providers
default	"https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ols/ontologies/edam/terms?iri=http://edamontology.org/data_1153"
bioregistry	"https://bioregistry.io/edam:data_1153"
miriam	"https://identifiers.org/edam:data_1153"
n2t	"https://n2t.net/edam:data_1153"
bio2rdf	"http://bio2rdf.org/edam:data_1153"

The canonical URI of that ontology term is http://edamontology.org/data_1153, which only appears as a GET string argument to the EBI server.
I am loathe to parse URLs to obtain the identifier of an ontology term ;-)
Is there any chance this can be added as an additional parameter in the list? "canonical"?

Cheers all!

Hi @markwilkinson, this is a good point. There are actually two issues to address here:

1. Curated RDF URI format strings don't get properly propagated through to this API endpoint
2. EDAM is missing a canonical RDF URI format

I've made a PR where I fix both of these things. I will properly test and deploy it on Monday.
