Inheritance

Class Properties

Property Value
Class URI schema:Collection

Slots

Name Cardinality and Range Description Inheritance
genre 0..1
String
Genre of the collection. Also the runtime discriminator for ModelingStudy ("modeling studies") and DiseaseSpecificCollection ("disease-specific collection"). direct
additionalType 0..1
String
Additional rdf:type-style classification (used by SoftwareApplication and Literature). direct
conformsTo *
ConformsTo
Established standards or specifications that this metadata adheres to (e.g., Schema.org, Bioschemas, Dublin Core, DCAT). CreativeWork
includedInDataCatalog 0..1
DataCatalog
A collection of datasets in which this resource is included. Links to the MIDAS Catalog or other data catalogs. CreativeWork
about * recommended
DefinedTerm
Subject matter of the content. Contains DefinedTerm objects (topics, biological scales, types). CreativeWork
keywords *
String
Topic labels as plain text (schema:keywords), for keyword-based discovery (e.g. Google Dataset Search). Topic names only — the same subject fact also appears structured under about. CreativeWork
endpointUrl 0..1 recommended
WebResource
Web page where users can browse information about the dataset and access download links. Canonical landing-page slot (the authoritative landing-page predicate for external consumers). CreativeWork
inLanguage * recommended
Language
Primary language(s) of the resource content. Language objects with ISO 639-2 codes; each also carries a Lexvo ISO 639-3 sameAs cross-link when available. CreativeWork
creator * recommended
Agent
Agent(s) who created or compiled the data — each a Person or an Organization, selected per node by agentType from the curated is_person flag (may include ORCID identifiers). Always emitted as an array; a single-element set holding the MIDAS Coordination Center Organization when no creators are recorded. Range is Agent, the Person/Organization supertype, so the generated JSON Schema accepts either subclass. CreativeWork
datePublished 0..1 recommended
String
Last date the resource was made available (date of publication, or of the most recent update/modified version), from the curated Last Publication Date. ISO 8601 (YYYY-MM-DD). Absence is meaningful: a blank value denotes a regularly/automatically-updated resource, and MIDAS never defaults it. CreativeWork
sdDatePublished 0..1
String
Date MIDAS published this structured-data record (when curation of the record was completed). A fact about the metadata, not the dataset: it is never used as the dataset's datePublished. ISO 8601 (YYYY-MM-DD). CreativeWork
dateModified 0..1 recommended
String
Date the resource was last modified or updated. ISO 8601 (YYYY-MM-DD). Populated from the collection creation end date. CreativeWork
catalogLicense 0..1
License
License governing the metadata catalog itself (the hardcoded default), separate from the license of the source data. CreativeWork
sourceLicense 0..1 recommended
License
License governing the original source data or related resources. Shares schema:license with catalogLicense (distinct slots, same predicate). CreativeWork
version 0..1 recommended
String
Version identifier of the resource (numeric or named, e.g., '1.0', 'v2.3'). CreativeWork
rights 0..1 recommended
String
Usage rights and conditions for accessing or using the resource (e.g., 'Registration required', 'Academic use only'). CreativeWork
accessibleForFree 0..1 recommended
Boolean
Whether the resource can be accessed at no cost to the user. CreativeWork
publisher 0..1
Organization
Organization responsible for making the resource available. For MIDAS Catalog resources, the MIDAS Coordination Center. CreativeWork
places *
Place
Place objects with GeoNames references describing geographic locations covered by the resource. Shares schema:spatialCoverage with spatialCoverage. CreativeWork
additionalProperty *
PropertyValue
Aggregated dataset characteristics with no dedicated schema.org property, each a self-describing PropertyValue keyed by propertyID to its MIDAS category: geographic resolution (midas03), topic (midas2), digital object type (midas10). CreativeWork
temporalCoverage 0..1
String
Date range covered by the data. ISO 8601 interval (YYYY-MM-DD/YYYY-MM-DD, or YYYY-MM-DD/.. for ongoing). CreativeWork
externalIdentifiers * recommended
String
External identifier strings (DOIs, URLs, etc.) that reference this resource in other systems. Shares schema:identifier with identifier. CreativeWork
relatedData *
RelatedData
RelatedData (CreativeWork) objects describing publications, datasets, or other resources related to this resource. The kind of relationship is carried per-object in each RelatedData's description. CreativeWork
bibliographicCitation 0..1
String
Recommended citation for the resource (authorship, title, date, URL) in standard academic citation format. CreativeWork
wasGeneratedBy 0..1
ProvActivity
Activity that generated this resource. Links to a prov:Activity describing the creation process. CreativeWork
wasDerivedFrom *
ProvEntity
Source entity from which this resource was derived. Multivalued on CreativeWork (see its slot_usage) where a record may derive from several sources; single-valued on ProvEntity. CreativeWork
pavCreatedBy 0..1
ProvAgent
Agent responsible for creating the resource (authorship-specific counterpart to prov:wasGeneratedBy). CreativeWork
pavDerivedFrom *
String
Source resources from which this version was derived, one IRI per source (versioning emphasis). Multivalued: PAV permits repeated derivation, and a record built from several sources derives from all of them. CreativeWork
id 1
Uriorcurie
Unique identifier (IRI/URL) for this resource. In JSON-LD, @id represents the globally unique identifier. (Maps to @id; the identifier slot is bound to @id by gen-jsonld-context.) Thing
identifier 0..1 recommended
String
Primary persistent identifier for this resource (e.g., DOI, Handle, ARK, or persistent URL). Can be a simple string or PropertyValue object. Thing
name 1
String
Title or name of the digital object, page, or resource. Thing
description 1
String
Brief description of the data. For datasets: what is included (variables, measurements), method/origin. For software: what it does, access requirements, supported languages. Thing
url 0..1
Uri
URL to the website that contains and/or describes the digital object or person. Thing
sameAs 0..1
Uri
URL of a reference web page that unambiguously indicates the item's identity (e.g., ORCID profile, Wikidata entry). NOTE: deliberately NOT mapped to dcat:landingPage — although CreativeWork populates sameAs from the landing page, this is a generic Thing slot (a Person's sameAs is an ORCID, not a landing page), so the landing-page equivalence is builder behavior, not a slot-level fact.

      page, this is a generic Thing slot (a Person''s sameAs is an ORCID, not a landing
      page), so the landing-page equivalence is builder behavior, not a slot-level
      fact.'
