BioSample DRAFT Profile

Version: 0.1-DRAFT-2019_11_12 (12 November 2019)

A bioschema's profile describing a biological sample.


If you spot any errors or omissions with this type, please file an issue in our GitHub.


Key to specification table

CD = Cardinality

Property Expected Type Description CD Controlled Vocabulary Example
Marginality: Minimum.
@context URL Used to provide the context (namespaces) for the JSON-LD file.
Not needed in other serialisations.		 ONE
@type Text Schema.org/Bioschemas class for the resource declared using JSON-LD syntax. For other serialisations please use the appropriate mechanism.
While it is permissible to provide multiple types, it is preferred to use a single type.		 MANY Schema.org, Bioschemas
@id IRI Used to distinguish the resource being described in JSON-LD. For other serialisations use the appropriate approach. ONE
dct:conformsTo IRI Used to state the Bioschemas profile that the markup relates to. The versioned URL of the profile must be used.
Note that we use a CURIE in the table here but the full URL for Dublin Core terms must be used in the markup (http://purl.org/dc/terms/conformsTo), see example.		 ONE Bioschemas profile versioned URL
description Text
 Schema:

A description of the item.
identifier PropertyValue
Text
URL
 Schema:

The identifier property represents any kind of identifier for any kind of Thing, such as ISBNs, GTIN codes, UUIDs etc. Schema.org provides dedicated properties for representing many of these, either as textual strings or as URL (URI) links. See background notes for more details.
name Text
 Schema:

The name of the item.
url URL
 Schema:

URL of the item.
Marginality: Optional.
additionalProperty PropertyValue
 Schema:

A property-value pair representing an additional characteristics of the entitity, e.g. a product feature or another characteristic for which there is no matching property in schema.org. Note: Publishers should be aware that applications designed to use specific schema.org properties (e.g. http://schema.org/width, http://schema.org/color, http://schema.org/gtin13, …) will typically expect such data to be provided using those properties, rather than using the generic property/value mechanism.
associatedDisease MedicalCondition
