Inheritance
Slots
| Name | Cardinality and Range | Inheritance | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| license: A legal instrument under which the information content entity is made available, typically identified by a URL or CURIE pointing to a license document. |
0..1 String |
direct | |
| rights: A statement describing rights held in or over the information content entity, such as copyright, intellectual property, or access and usage rights. |
0..1 String |
direct | |
| format: The file format, physical medium, or representational form of the information content entity; for digital resources typically a MIME type or format identifier. Corresponds to dct:format. |
0..1 String |
direct | |
| creation_date: date on which an entity was created. This can be applied to nodes or edges |
0..1 Date |
direct | |
| provided_by: The value in this node property represents the knowledge provider that created or assembled the node and all of its attributes. Used internally to represent how a particular node made its way into a knowledge provider or graph. |
* String |
NamedThing | |
| xref: A database cross reference or alternative identifier for a NamedThing or edge between two NamedThings. This property should point to a database record or webpage that supports the existence of the edge, or gives more detail about the edge. This property can be used on a node or edge to provide multiple URIs or CURIE cross references. |
* Uriorcurie |
NamedThing | |
| full_name: a long-form human readable name for a thing |
0..1 LabelType |
NamedThing | |
| synonym: Alternate human-readable names for a thing |
* LabelType |
NamedThing | |
| equivalent_identifiers: A set of identifiers that are considered equivalent to the primary identifier of the entity. This attribute is used to represent a collection of identifiers that are considered equivalent to the primary identifier of an entity. These equivalent identifiers may come from different databases, ontologies, or naming conventions, but they all refer to the same underlying concept or entity. This attribute is particularly useful in data integration and interoperability scenarios, where it is important to recognize and link different representations of the same entity across various sources. |
* Uriorcurie |
NamedThing | |
| information_content: Information content (IC) value for a term, primarily from Automats. |
0..1 Float |
NamedThing | |
| taxon: A property that indicates the taxonomic classification of an entity. Values for this slot should be from the NCBITaxon ontology. |
0..1 Uriorcurie |
NamedThing | |
| id: A unique identifier for an entity. Must be either a CURIE shorthand for a URI or a complete URI |
1 String |
Entity | |
| iri: An IRI for an entity. This is determined by the id using expansion rules. |
0..1 IriType |
Entity | |
| category: Name of the high level ontology class in which this entity is categorized. Corresponds to the label for the biolink entity type class. In a neo4j database this MAY correspond to the neo4j label tag. In an RDF database it should be a biolink model class URI. This field is multi-valued. It should include values for ancestors of the biolink class; for example, a protein such as Shh would have category values biolink:Protein, biolink:GeneProduct, biolink:MolecularEntity. In an RDF database, nodes will typically have an rdf:type triples. This can be to the most specific biolink class, or potentially to a class more specific than something in biolink. For example, a sequence feature f may have a rdf:type assertion to a SO class such as TF_binding_site, which is more specific than anything in biolink. Here we would have categories {biolink:GenomicEntity, biolink:MolecularEntity, biolink:NamedThing} |
1..* Uriorcurie |
Entity | |
| type: An rdf:type property asserting that an entity is an instance of a particular class. In Biolink the value is typically used to indicate the most specific category of which the entity is an instance. |
* String |
Entity | |
| name: A human-readable name for an attribute or entity. |
0..1 LabelType |
Entity | |
| description: a human-readable description of an entity |
0..1 NarrativeText |
Entity | |
| has_attribute: connects any entity to an attribute |
* Attribute |
Entity | |
| deprecated: A boolean flag indicating that an entity is no longer considered current or valid. |
0..1 Boolean |
Entity |
