Parents

• is_a: BiologicalProcessOrActivity - Either an individual molecular activity, or a collection of causally connected molecular activities in a biological system.

Uses Mixins

• mixin: Occurrent - A processual entity.
• mixin: OntologyClass - a concept or class in an ontology, vocabulary or thesaurus. Note that nodes in a biolink compatible KG can be considered both instances of biolink classes, and OWL classes in their own right. In general you should not need to use this class directly. Instead, use the appropriate biolink class. For example, for the GO concept of endocytosis (GO:0006897), use bl:BiologicalProcess as the type.

Attributes

Own

• enabled by _0..*
  • Description: holds between a process and a physical entity, where the physical entity executes the process
  • Range: PhysicalEntity
  • in subsets: (translator_minimal)
• has input _0..*
  • Description: holds between a process and a continuant, where the continuant is an input into the process
  • Range: NamedThing
  • in subsets: (translator_minimal)
• has output _0..*
  • Description: holds between a process and a continuant, where the continuant is an output of the process
  • Range: NamedThing
  • in subsets: (translator_minimal)

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
  • in subsets: (translator_minimal)
• type _0..*
  • Range: String
• description _0..1
  • Description: a human-readable description of an entity
  • Range: NarrativeText
  • in subsets: (translator_minimal)
• has attribute _0..*
  • Description: connects any entity to an attribute
  • Range: Attribute
  • in subsets: (samples)

Inherited from gene product mixin:

• synonym _0..*
  • Description: Alternate human-readable names for a thing
  • Range: LabelType
  • in subsets: (translator_minimal)
• xref _0..*
  • Description: 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.
  • Range: Uriorcurie
  • in subsets: (translator_minimal)

Inherited from macromolecular machine mixin:

Inherited from named thing:

• provided by _0..*
  • Description: 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.
  • Range: String
• full name _0..1
  • Description: a long-form human readable name for a thing
  • Range: LabelType
• 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.
