Name Description
category 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, etc. 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}
description a human-readable description of an entity
enabled_by holds between a process and a physical entity, where the physical entity executes the process
has_attribute connects any entity to an attribute
has_input holds between a process and a continuant, where the continuant is an input into the process
has_output holds between a process and a continuant, where the continuant is an output of the process
id A unique identifier for an entity. Must be either a CURIE shorthand for a URI or a complete URI
in_taxon connects an entity to its taxonomic classification. Only certain kinds of entities can be taxonomically classified; see 'thing with taxon'
iri An IRI for an entity. This is determined by the id using expansion rules.
name A human-readable name for an attribute or entity.
provided_by 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.
source None
type None
xref Alternate CURIEs for a thing
