BERtron schema

Schema for BERtron common data model.

URI: https://w3id.org/ber-data/bertron-schema

Name: bertron-schema

Classes

Class Description
Any
Attribute A domain, measurement, attribute, property, or any descriptor for additional properties to be added to an entity. Where available, please use OBO Foundry ontologies or other controlled vocabularies for attributes; the label should be the term name from the ontology and the id should be the fully-qualified CURIE.
AttributeValue The value for any value of attribute for an entity. This object can hold both the un-normalized atomic value and the structured value.
        QuantityValue A simple quantity, e.g. 2cm
        TextValue A quality, described using a text string.
Coordinates The coordinates defining the position associated with the entity.
DataCollection Administrative unit (e.g. project, proposal, etc.) in which one or more entities is collected.
Entity An object retrieved by BERtron from a BER data API.
Name The name or label for an entity. This may be a primary name, alternative name, synonym, acronym, or any other label used to refer to an entity.
NamedQuantityValue A quantity value where the attribute is already specified.

Slots

Slot Description
alt_ids Fully-qualified URI or CURIE used as an identifier for an entity.
alt_names Textual identifiers for an entity.
alt_titles Alternative versions of the title/name of a grouped set of data.
altitude Altitude is a term used to identify heights of objects such as airplanes, space shuttles, rockets, atmospheric balloons and heights of places such as atmospheric layers and clouds. It is used to measure the height of an object which is above the earth's surface. In this context, the altitude measurement is the vertical distance between the earth's surface above sea level and the sampled position in the air
attribute The attribute being represented.
ber_data_source The BER member from whence the entity originated.
coordinates The geographic coordinates associated with an entity. For entities with a bounding box, the centroid is used as the geographic reference.
depth The vertical distance below local surface, e.g. for sediment or soil samples depth is measured from sediment or soil surface, respectively. Depth can be reported as an interval for subsurface samples.
description Textual description of the entity.
elevation Elevation of the sampling site is its height above a fixed reference point, most commonly the mean sea level. Elevation is mainly used when referring to points on the earth's surface, while altitude is used for points above the surface, such as an aircraft in flight or a spacecraft in orbit.
entity_type What kind of entity is this -- e.g. sequence data; a soil core; a well; field site; sample; etc.
id The unique ID used for the entity within the BER resource. It may not necessarily be resolvable outside the resource.
label Text string to describe the attribute. Where available, please use OBO Foundry ontologies or other controlled vocabularies for labelling attributes; the label should be the term name from the ontology.
latitude latitude
longitude longitude
maximum_numeric_value The maximum value part, expressed as number, of the quantity value when the value covers a range.
minimum_numeric_value The minimum value part, expressed as number, of the quantity value when the value covers a range.
name Human-readable string representing an entity.
name_type Brief description of the name and/or its relationship to the entity.
numeric_value Links a quantity value to a number
part_of_collection Administrative collection (e.g. project, campaign, whatever) that the entity was generated as part of. May also be called a project.
properties Provide extended context that may be relevant and applicable to the entity you're describing.
raw_value The value that was specified for an annotation in raw form, i.e. a string. E.g. "2 cm" or "2-4 cm"
title Human-readable string representing the grouped set of data.
unit Links a QuantityValue to a unit. Units should be taken from the UCUM unit collection or the Unit Ontology.
uri Permanent resolvable URI for the entity at the data source.
url Permanent resolvable URI for the collection at the data source.
value The value, as a text string.
value_cv_id For values that are in a controlled vocabulary (CV), this attribute should capture the controlled vocabulary ID for the value.

Enumerations

Enumeration Description
BERSourceType The BER data source from whence the entity originated.

Types

Type Description
Boolean A binary (true or false) value
Curie a compact URI
Date a date (year, month and day) in an idealized calendar
DateOrDatetime Either a date or a datetime
Datetime The combination of a date and time
