authors:
connects an publication to the list of authors who contributed to the publication. This property should be a comma-delimited list of author names. It is recommended that an author's name be formatted as "surname, firstname initial.". Note that this property is a node annotation expressing the citation list of authorship which might typically otherwise be more completely documented in biolink:PublicationToProviderAssociation defined edges which point to full details about an author and possibly, some qualifiers which clarify the specific status of a given author in the publication.

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.

publication_type:
Ontology term for publication type may be drawn from Dublin Core types (https://www.dublincore.org/specifications/dublin-core/dcmi-type-vocabulary/), FRBR-aligned Bibliographic Ontology (https://sparontologies.github.io/fabio/current/fabio.html), the MESH publication types (https://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/pubtypes.html), the Confederation of Open Access Repositories (COAR) Controlled Vocabulary for Resource Type Genres (http://vocabularies.coar-repositories.org/documentation/resource_types/), Wikidata (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Publication_types), or equivalent publication type ontology. When a given publication type ontology term is used within a given knowledge graph, then the CURIE identified term must be documented in the graph as a concept node of biolink:category biolink:OntologyClass.

id:
Different kinds of publication subtypes will have different preferred identifiers (curies when feasible). Precedence of identifiers for scientific articles is as follows: PMID if available; DOI if not; actual alternate CURIE otherwise. Enclosing publications (i.e. referenced by 'published in' node property) such as books and journals, should have industry-standard identifier such as from ISBN and ISSN.

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}
