Name Description
authors connects an publication to the list of authors who contributed to the publication. This property should be a comma-delimited list of author names. It is recommended that an author's name be formatted as "surname, firstname initial.". Note that this property is a node annotation expressing the citation list of authorship which might typically otherwise be more completely documented in biolink:PublicationToProviderAssociation defined edges which point to full details about an author and possibly, some qualifiers which clarify the specific status of a given author in the publication.
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}
creation_date date on which an entity was created. This can be applied to nodes or edges
description a human-readable description of an entity
format None
has_attribute connects any entity to an attribute
id Serials (journals) should have industry-standard identifier such as from ISSN.
iri An IRI for an entity. This is determined by the id using expansion rules.
iso_abbreviation Standard abbreviation for periodicals in the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 4 system See https://www.issn.org/services/online-services/access-to-the-ltwa/. If the 'published in' property is set, then the iso abbreviation pertains to the broader publication context (the journal) within which the given publication node is embedded, not the publication itself.
issue issue of a newspaper, a scientific journal or magazine for reference purpose
keywords keywords tagging a publication
license None
mesh_terms mesh terms tagging a publication
name A human-readable name for an attribute or entity.
pages page number of source referenced for statement or publication
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.
rights None
source None
summary executive summary of a publication
type Should generally be set to an ontology class defined term for 'serial' or 'journal'.
volume volume of a book or music release in a collection/series or a published collection of journal issues in a serial publication
xref Alternate CURIEs for a thing
