Standard Properties

Published: 01 November 2021

Tags: Community Profile

A standard set of properties have been added to all Bioschemas profiles. These properties allow consumers of markup to more easily understand the markup, and to validate it against the relevant profile. Essentially the properties form a boilerplate for any markup, see following code snippet for an example protein taken from DisProt.

{
  "@context": "https://schema.org/",
  "@type": "Protein",
  "@id": "https://disprot.org/DP00003",
  "http://purl.org/dc/terms/conformsTo": {
    "@id": "https://bioschemas.org/profiles/Protein/0.11-RELEASE",
    "@type": "CreativeWork"
  },
  ...
}

Note that while the properties are stated in the JSON-LD form, there are equivalents for RDFa.
