Key to specification table
Property Expected Type Description
New properties for DataRecord (pending schema.org integration).
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.
Bioschemas: Additional to the use of name and description to describe this property in a human-readable way, additionalType should be used to specify the nature of the property/relation. For instance, if the property refers to a gene/protein disease association, you could use SIO:000983 (gene-disease association) as the additionalType for the additionalProperty.
isBasisFor CreativeWork
Product
URL
 Bioschemas: A resource for which this resource is basis for. Inverse property: isBasedOn.
Bioschemas DataRecord: Whenever possible use Evidence Codes (ECO).
seeAlso Thing
URL 		Bioschemas: A pointer to any (somehow related) Thing. To be used whenever you are not so sure about the nature of the relation. Otherwise, use more precise terms from pre-existing Controlled Vocabularies.
Properties from Dataset
distribution DataDownload Schema: A downloadable form of this dataset, at a specific location, in a specific format.
includedInDataCatalog DataCatalog Schema: A data catalog which contains this dataset. Supersedes catalog, includedDataCatalog. Inverse property: dataset.
issn Text Schema: The International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) that identifies this serial publication. You can repeat this property to identify different formats of, or the linking ISSN (ISSN-L) for, this serial publication.
measurementTechnique Text
URL 		Schema: A technique or technology used in a Dataset (or DataDownload, DataCatalog), corresponding to the method used for measuring the corresponding variable(s) (described using variableMeasured). This is oriented towards scientific and scholarly dataset publication but may have broader applicability; it is not intended as a full representation of measurement, but rather as a high level summary for dataset discovery. For example, if variableMeasured is: molecule concentration, measurementTechnique could be: "mass spectrometry" or "nmr spectroscopy" or "colorimetry" or "immunofluorescence".
If the variableMeasured is "depression rating", the measurementTechnique could be "Zung Scale" or "HAM-D" or "Beck Depression Inventory".
If there are several variableMeasured properties recorded for some given data object, use a PropertyValue for each variableMeasured and attach the corresponding measurementTechnique.
variableMeasured PropertyValue
Text 		Schema: The variableMeasured property can indicate (repeated as necessary) the variables that are measured in some dataset, either described as text or as pairs of identifier and description using PropertyValue.

When applied to a CreativeWork (e.g. NewsArticle) the principles are those of the party primarily responsible for the creation of the CreativeWork.

URL 		Schema: The temporalCoverage of a CreativeWork indicates the period that the content applies to, i.e. that it describes, either as a DateTime or as a textual string indicating a time period in ISO 8601 time interval format. In the case of a Dataset it will typically indicate the relevant time period in a precise notation (e.g. for a 2011 census dataset, the year 2011 would be written "2011/2012"). Other forms of content e.g. ScholarlyArticle, Book, TVSeries or TVEpisode may indicate their temporalCoverage in broader terms - textually or via well-known URL. Written works such as books may sometimes have precise temporal coverage too, e.g. a work set in 1939 - 1945 can be indicated in ISO 8601 interval format format via "1939/1945". Supersedes datasetTimeInterval, temporal.

Properties from Thing
additionalType URL Schema: An additional type for the item, typically used for adding more specific types from external vocabularies in microdata syntax. This is a relationship between something and a class that the thing is in. In RDFa syntax, it is better to use the native RDFa syntax - the 'typeof' attribute - for multiple types. Schema.org tools may have only weaker understanding of extra types, in particular those defined externally.
Bioschemas: Although not required, additionalType can be used to specify the nature of the record. For instance, a UniProt protein record would have UP:Protein as type.
alternateName Text Schema: An alias for the item.
description Text Schema: A descripton of the item.

subjectOf CreativeWork
Event 		Schema: A CreativeWork or Event about this Thing. Inverse property: about.
url URL Schema: URL of the item.
