Class: InformationResource

Description: A database or knowledgebase and its supporting ecosystem of interfaces and services that deliver content to consumers (e.g. web portals, APIs, query endpoints, streaming services, data downloads, etc.). A single Information Resource by this definition may span many different datasets or databases, and include many access endpoints and user interfaces. Information Resources include project-specific resources such as a Translator Knowledge Provider, and community knowledgebases like ChemBL, OMIM, or DGIdb.

Name Cardinality and Range Inheritance Examples
status:
the status of the infores identifier, the default is "released"
1
InformationResourceStatusEnum		 direct
name:
A human-readable name for an attribute or entity. 		0..1
String		 direct
id:
A unique identifier for an entity. Must be either a CURIE shorthand for a URI or a complete URI 		1
String		 direct
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. 		*

Alternate human-readable names for a thing 		*
String		 direct
description:
A free-text description of an entity or attribute. 		0..1
String		 direct
knowledge_level:
The level of knowledge that supports an edge or node. This is a general categorization of the type of evidence that supports a statement, and is not intended to be a comprehensive description of the evidence. For example, a statement may be supported by a single publication, but that publication may contain multiple types of evidence, such as a computational prediction and a manual curation. In this case, the knowledge level would be "curated", and the evidence would be described in more detail in the evidence graph. 		0..1
KnowledgeLevelEnum		 direct
agent_type:
The type of agent that supports an edge or node. This is a general categorization of the type of agent that supports a statement, and is not intended to be a comprehensive description of the agent. For example, a statement may be supported by a single publication, but that publication may contain multiple types of evidence, such as a computational prediction and a manual curation. In this case, the agent type would be "publication", and the evidence would be described in more detail in the evidence graph. 		0..1

consumes:
A collection of information resources that are consumed by this information resource 		*

consumed_by:
A collection of information resources that consume this information resource 		*
