Inherited from definition:

  • name 1..1
    • Description: the unique name of the element within the context of the schema. Name is combined with the default prefix to form the globally unique subject of the target class.
    • Range: String
    • in subsets: (owl)
  • id_prefixes 0..*
    • Description: the identifier of this class or slot must begin with the URIs referenced by this prefix
    • Range: Ncname
  • definition_uri 0..1
    • Description: the "native" URI of the element
    • Range: Uriorcurie
  • aliases 0..*
  • local_names 0..*
  • mappings 0..*
    • Description: A list of terms from different schemas or terminology systems that have comparable meaning. These may include terms that are precisely equivalent, broader or narrower in meaning, or otherwise semantically related but not equivalent from a strict ontological perspective.
    • Range: Uriorcurie
  • exact mappings 0..*
    • Description: A list of terms from different schemas or terminology systems that have identical meaning.
    • Range: Uriorcurie
  • close mappings 0..*
    • Description: A list of terms from different schemas or terminology systems that have close meaning.
    • Range: Uriorcurie
  • related mappings 0..*
    • Description: A list of terms from different schemas or terminology systems that have related meaning.
    • Range: Uriorcurie
  • narrow mappings 0..*
    • Description: A list of terms from different schemas or terminology systems that have narrower meaning.
    • Range: Uriorcurie
  • broad mappings 0..*
    • Description: A list of terms from different schemas or terminology systems that have broader meaning.
    • Range: Uriorcurie
  • abstract 0..1
    • Description: an abstract class is a high level class or slot that is typically used to group common slots together and cannot be directly instantiated.
    • Range: Boolean
  • mixin 0..1
    • Description: this slot or class can only be used as a mixin.
    • Range: Boolean
  • values_from 0..*
    • Description: the identifier of a "value set" -- a set of identifiers that form the possible values for the range of a slot
    • Range: Uriorcurie
  • created_by 0..1
    • Description: agent that created the element
    • Range: Uriorcurie
  • created_on 0..1
    • Description: time at which the element was created
    • Range: Datetime
  • last_updated_on 0..1
    • Description: time at which the element was last updated
    • Range: Datetime
  • modified_by 0..1
    • Description: agent that modified the element
    • Range: Uriorcurie
  • status 0..1
    • Description: status of the element
    • Range: Uriorcurie
    • Example: bibo:draft None
  • string_serialization 0..1
    • Description: Used on a slot that stores the string serialization of the containing object. The syntax follows python formatted strings, with slot names enclosed in {}s. These are expanded using the values of those slots. We call the slot with the serialization the s-slot, the slots used in the {}s are v-slots. If both s-slots and v-slots are populated on an object then the value of the s-slot should correspond to the expansion. Implementations of frameworks may choose to use this property to either (a) PARSE: implement automated normalizations by parsing denormalized strings into complex objects (b) GENERARE: implement automated to_string labeling of complex objects For example, a Measurement class may have 3 fields: unit, value, and string_value. The string_value slot may have a string_serialization of {value}{unit} such that if unit=cm and value=2, the value of string_value shouldd be 2cm
