Slot: named_thing_category

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}

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}
