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
