Attributes

Own

• address _0..1
  • Description: the particulars of the place where someone or an organization is situated. For now, this slot is a simple text “blob” containing all relevant details of the given location for fitness of purpose. For the moment, this “address” can include other contact details such as email and phone number(?).
  • Range: String
• affiliation _0..*
  • Description: a professional relationship between one provider (often a person) within another provider (often an organization). Target provider identity should be specified by a CURIE. Providers may have multiple affiliations.
  • Range: Uriorcurie
• id _1..1
  • Description: A unique identifier for an entity. Must be either a CURIE shorthand for a URI or a complete URI
  • Range: String
  • in subsets: (translator_minimal)
• name _0..1
  • Description: A human-readable name for an attribute or entity.
  • Range: LabelType
  • in subsets: (translator_minimal,samples)

Inherited from entity:

• id _1..1
  • Description: A unique identifier for an entity. Must be either a CURIE shorthand for a URI or a complete URI
  • Range: String
  • in subsets: (translator_minimal)
• iri _0..1
  • Description: An IRI for an entity. This is determined by the id using expansion rules.
  • Range: IriType
  • in subsets: (translator_minimal,samples)
• category _0..*
  • Description: 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}
  • Range: CategoryType
