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.

Schema:

The name of the item.


ONE
Marginality: Recommended.
bioChemAssociation BioChemEntity
Schema:

BioChemEntity, e.g., gene, associated to this Phenotype and relevant for its characterization, particularly useful for the molecular basis of this Phenotype.


MANY
description Text
Schema:

A description of the item.


ONE
sameAs URL
Schema:

URL of a reference Web page that unambiguously indicates the item’s identity. E.g. the URL of the item’s Wikipedia page, Wikidata entry, or official website.


MANY

additionalProperty PropertyValue
Schema:

Before using this property, make sure none of the existing ones covers your case. Whenever possible, please use a property coined in a third-party well-know vocabulary. Please always use (i) property name to specify the name of the property, (ii) additionalType (if possible) to better specify the nature of the property (e.g., link to the third-party well-known vocabulary term), and (iii) value to link to the object/range of this property. 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.
