description: Name of the high level ontology class in which this entity is categorized.
Corresponds to the label for the biolink entity type class. In a neo4j database
this MAY correspond to the neo4j label tag. In an RDF database it should be
a biolink model class URI. This field is multi-valued. It should include values
for ancestors of the biolink class; for example, a protein such as Shh would
have category values `biolink:Protein`, `biolink:GeneProduct`, `biolink:MolecularEntity`.
In an RDF database, nodes will typically have an rdf:type triples. This can
be to the most specific biolink class, or potentially to a class more specific
than something in biolink. For example, a sequence feature `f` may have a rdf:type
assertion to a SO class such as TF_binding_site, which is more specific than
anything in biolink. Here we would have categories {biolink:GenomicEntity, biolink:MolecularEntity,
biolink:NamedThing}
