This is also what came to my mind. As it happens, we just proposed

Registrations:
  - Registry: bio.tools
    Entry: http://bio.tools/tool/DebianMed/bowtie/1.1.1
  - Registry: SEQwiki
    Entry: http://seqanswers.com/wiki/Bowtie

so you may want to add

  - Registry: RRID
    Entry: MIR:00000558

Well, actually, there does not seem to be an entry for Bowtie, yet.

I am uncertain if one wants to have a complete URL or just the ID. Matúš
preferred the complete URL but I do not see any such for MIRIAM.

For the resolver that you mentioned, this can at some point be implemented
via the unified Debian database.

Best,
