Attributes

Own

• has taxonomic rank _0..1
  • Range: TaxonomicRank

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
