Resource Not Found
We're sorry, but the resource /digitalrepository/nlm digital repository requirements rev march 2007.pdf was not found.
What is this thing?
The NCBI Resource Locator provides stable, uniform addressing for NCBI
content, making it easy to link to individual records. Some NCBI resources
also provide services (like search) through these URLs.
How does it work?
Each URL has the form
http://view.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/<noun>/<verb>/<expression>
Where:
- <noun> is an NCBI resource (e.g., pubmed, gene, nucleotide, etc.)
- <verb> is the action to perform (e.g., search, get, etc.). If <verb> is missing, the default verb "get" is used.
- <expression> is data used by the action to perform the request
