      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}. NOTE: The category slot was modified to have a curie range
      and a pattern for bican categories.'
