This document proposes collaborating with the BioDBCore initiative to standardize the registration and description of biological databases. It identifies challenges in uniquely identifying databases due to unstable URLs. The proposal suggests adopting the MIRIAM registry's persistent identifiers to decouple identification from location. Benefits include globally identifying life science databases, improved discovery of relevant resources, and potential for BioDBCore to evolve into a database publishing platform. Open questions remain regarding technical details and integrating existing database lists.
