js library for resolving biological ids to their equivalent ids in batch

$ npm i biomedical_id_resolver

const resolve = require('biomedical_id_resolver');

// input should be an object, with semantic type as the key, and array of CURIEs as value
let input = {
    "Gene": ["NCBIGene:1017", "NCBIGene:1018", "HGNC:1177"],
    "ChemicalSubstance": ["CHEBI:15377"],
    "Disease": ["MONDO:0004976"],
    "Cell": ["CL:0002372"]
  };

(async () => {
  const resolver = new resolve();
	console.log(await resolver.resolve(input);
	//=> {'NCBIGene:1017': {...}, 'NCBIGene:1018': {...}, 'HGNC:1177': {...}, 'CHEBI:15377': {...}, 'MONDO:0004976': {...}, 'CL:0002372': {...}}
})();

• Output is a javascript Object

• The root keys are CURIES (e.g. NCBIGene:1017) which are passed in as input

• The values represents resolved identifiers

• Each CURIE will have 4 required fields

  • id: the primary id (selected based on the ranking described in the next section) and label

  • curies: an array, each element represents a resolved id in CURIE format

  • type: the semantic type of the identifier

  • db_ids: original ids from source database, could be curies or non-curies.

• if an ID can not be resolved using the package, it will have an additional field called "flag", with value equal to "failed"

• Example Output
