FAIRsharing record for: Biolink Model

This FAIRsharing record describes: A high level datamodel of biological entities (genes, diseases, phenotypes, pathways, individuals, substances, etc) and their associations.
Biolink Model is designed as a way of standardizing types and relational structures in knowledge graphs (KGs), where the KG may be either a property graph or RDF triple store.

The schema is expressed as a YAML, which may be translated into a number of different representations including OWL, Python dataclasses, GraphQL and more. The schema assumes a property graph, where nodes represent individual entities, and edges represent relationship between entities. Biolink Model provides a schema for representing both nodes and edges. The model itself can be divided into a few parts: Entities (subjects and objects), Predicates (relationships between core concepts), Associations (statements including evidence and provenance), Entity Slots (node properties), and Edge Slots (edge properties).
