Predicates

  • acts upstream of or within negative effect
  • acts upstream of or within positive effect
  • acts upstream of positive effect
  • adverse event of
  • affected by - describes an entity of which the state or quality is affected by another existing entity.
  • affects - describes an entity that has a direct affect on the state or quality of another existing entity. Use of the ‘affects’ predicate implies that the affected entity already exists, unlike predicates such as ‘affects risk for’ and ‘prevents, where the outcome is something that may or may not come to be.
    • affects response to
      • decreases response to - holds between two chemical entities where the action or effect of one decreases the susceptibility of a biological entity or system (e.g. an organism, cell, cellular component, macromolecular machine mixin, biological or pathological process) to the other

    • ameliorates - A relationship between an entity (e.g. a genotype, genetic variation, chemical, or environmental exposure, clinical intervention) and a condition (a phenotype or disease), where the presence of the entity reduces or eliminates some or all aspects of the condition.
      • treats - holds between a therapeutic procedure or chemical entity and a disease or phenotypic feature that it is used to treat
    • disrupts - describes a relationship where one entity degrades or interferes with the structure, function, or occurrence of another.
    • exacerbates - A relationship between an entity (e.g. a chemical, environmental exposure, or some form of genetic variation) and a condition (a phenotype or disease), where the presence of the entity worsens some or all aspects of the condition.
    • has adverse event - An untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject that happens during treatment with a therapeutic agent. Adverse events may be caused by something other than the drug or therapy being given and may include abnormal laboratory finding, symptoms, or diseases temporally associated with the treatment, whether or not considered related to the treatment. Adverse events are unintended effects that occur when a medication is administered correctly.

Gene-affects-gene relationships will (almost) always involve regulation. Exogenous/environmental chemical-affects-gene relationships are not cases of regulation in this definition.

Gene-affects-gene relationships will (almost) always involve regulation. Exogenous/environmental chemical-affects-gene relationships are not cases of regulation in this definition.

E.g. the statement “Atrial Fibrillation (Afib) is associated with Myocardial Infraction (MI)” asserts that having Afib is not statistically independent from whether a patient will also have MI. Note that in Translator associations, the subject and object concepts may map exactly to the statistical variables, or represent related entities for which the variables serve as proxies in an Association (e.g. diseases, chemical entities or processes).

  • predicate mappings - A collection of relationships that are not used in biolink, but have biolink patterns that can be used to replace them. This is a temporary slot to help with the transition to the fully qualified predicate model in Biolink3.
  • 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.
  • relation
  • retrieval source ids - A list of retrieval sources that served as a source of knowledge expressed in an Edge, or a source of data used to generate this knowledge.
  • routes of delivery - the method or process of administering a pharmaceutical compound to achieve a therapeutic effect in humans or animals.
  • support graphs - A list of knowledge graphs that support the existence of this node.
  • timepoint - a point in time
  • type
    • category - Name of the high level ontology class in which this entity is categorized. Corresponds to the label for the biolink entity type class.
  • 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.

Defined

  • BiologicalSequence (String)
  • Boolean (Bool) - A binary (true or false) value
  • CategoryType (Uriorcurie) - A primitive type in which the value denotes a class within the biolink model. The value must be a URI or a CURIE. In a Neo4j representation, the value should be the CURIE for the biolink class, for example biolink:Gene. For an RDF representation, the value should be a URI such as https://w3id.org/biolink/vocab/Gene
  • ChemicalFormulaValue (str) - A chemical formula
  • Curie (Curie) - a compact URI
  • Date (XSDDate) - a date (year, month and day) in an idealized calendar
  • DateOrDatetime (str) - Either a date or a datetime
  • Datetime (XSDDateTime) - The combination of a date and time
  • Decimal (Decimal) - A real number with arbitrary precision that conforms to the xsd:decimal specification
  • Double (float) - A real number that conforms to the xsd:double specification
  • Float (float) - A real number that conforms to the xsd:float specification
  • FrequencyValue (String)
  • Integer (int) - An integer
  • IriType (Uriorcurie) - An IRI
  • LabelType (String) - A string that provides a human-readable name for an entity
  • NarrativeText (String) - A string that provides a human-readable description of something
  • Ncname (NCName) - Prefix part of CURIE
  • Nodeidentifier (NodeIdentifier) - A URI, CURIE or BNODE that represents a node in a model.
  • Objectidentifier (ElementIdentifier) - A URI or CURIE that represents an object in the model.
  • PercentageFrequencyValue (Double)
  • PredicateType (Uriorcurie) - A CURIE from the biolink related_to hierarchy. For example, biolink:related_to, biolink:causes, biolink:treats.
  • Quotient (Double)
  • String (str) - A character string
  • SymbolType (String)
  • Time (XSDTime) - A time object represents a (local) time of day, independent of any particular day
  • TimeType (Time)
  • Unit (String)
  • Uri (URI) - a complete URI
  • Uriorcurie (URIorCURIE) - a URI or a CURIE
