Dataset DRAFT Profile

Green properties/types are proposed by Bioschemas, or indicate proposed changes by Bioschemas to Schema.org
Red properties/types exist in the core of Schema.org
Blue properties/types exist in the pending area of Schema.org
Black properties/types are reused from external vocabularies/ontologies

CD = Cardinality

Property	Expected Type	Description	CD	Controlled Vocabulary	Example
Marginality: Minimum.
@context	URL	Used to provide the context (namespaces) for the JSON-LD file. Not needed in other serialisations.	ONE		Property ≪@context≫ example `{ "@context": "https://schema.org/" }`
@type	Text	Schema.org/Bioschemas class for the resource declared using JSON-LD syntax. For other serialisations please use the appropriate mechanism. While it is permissible to provide multiple types, it is preferred to use a single type.	MANY	Schema.org, Bioschemas	Property ≪@type≫ example `{ "@type": "Dataset" }`
@id	IRI	Used to distinguish the resource being described in JSON-LD. For other serialisations use the appropriate approach.	ONE		Property ≪@id≫ example `{ "@id": "http://example.com/entity/A12345" }`
dct:conformsTo	IRI	Used to state the Bioschemas profile that the markup relates to. The versioned URL of the profile must be used. Note that we use a CURIE in the table here but the full URL for Dublin Core terms must be used in the markup (http://purl.org/dc/terms/conformsTo), see example.	ONE	Bioschemas profile versioned URL	Property ≪dct:conformsTo≫ example `{ "http://purl.org/dc/terms/conformsTo": { "@id": "https://bioschemas.org/profiles/Dataset/0.2-DRAFT-2018_02_25", "@type": "CreativeWork" } }`
description	Text	Schema: A description of the item. Bioschemas: A short summary describing a dataset.	ONE
identifier	PropertyValue Text URL	Schema: The identifier property represents any kind of identifier for any kind of Thing, such as ISBNs, GTIN codes, UUIDs etc. Schema.org provides dedicated properties for representing many of these, either as textual strings or as URL (URI) links. See background notes for more details.	MANY
keywords	Text	Schema: Keywords or tags used to describe this content. Multiple entries in a keywords list are typically delimited by commas. Bioschemas: These keywords provide a summary of the dataset.	ONE
name	Text	Schema: The name of the item. Bioschemas: A descriptive name of the dataset.	ONE
rdf:type	URL	Bioschemas: This is used by validation tools to indentify the profile used. You must use the value specified in the Controlled Vocabulary column.	ONE
url	URL	Schema: URL of the item. Bioschemas: The location of a page describing the dataset.	ONE
Marginality: Recommended.
citation	CreativeWork Text	Schema: A citation or reference to another creative work, such as another publication, web page, scholarly article, etc. Bioschemas: A citation for a publication that describes the dataset.	MANY
creator	Organization Person	Schema: The creator/author of this CreativeWork. This is the same as the Author property for CreativeWork. Bioschemas: The name of the dataset creator (person or organization).	MANY
distribution	DataDownload	Schema: A downloadable form of this dataset, at a specific location, in a specific format.	ONE
includedInDataCatalog	DataCatalog	Schema: A data catalog which contains this dataset. Supersedes catalog, includedDataCatalog. Inverse property: dataset.	MANY
license	CreativeWork URL	Schema: A license document that applies to this content, typically indicated by URL. Bioschemas: A license under which the dataset is distributed.	ONE
measurementTechnique	Text URL	Schema: A technique or technology used in a Dataset (or DataDownload, DataCatalog), corresponding to the method used for measuring the corresponding variable(s) (described using variableMeasured). This is oriented towards scientific and scholarly dataset publication but may have broader applicability; it is not intended as a full representation of measurement, but rather as a high level summary for dataset discovery. For example, if variableMeasured is: molecule concentration, measurementTechnique could be: “mass spectrometry” or “nmr spectroscopy” or “colorimetry” or “immunofluorescence”. If the variableMeasured is “depression rating”, the measurementTechnique could be “Zung Scale” or “HAM-D” or “Beck Depression Inventory”. If there are several variableMeasured properties recorded for some given data object, use a PropertyValuefor each variableMeasured and attach the corresponding measurementTechnique.	MANY
variableMeasured	PropertyValue Text	Schema: The variableMeasured property can indicate (repeated as necessary) the variables that are measured in some dataset, either described as text or as pairs of identifier and description using PropertyValue. Bioschemas: What does the dataset measure? (e.g., temperature, pressure).	MANY
version	Number Text	Schema: The version of the CreativeWork embodied by a specified resource. Bioschemas: The version number for this dataset.	ONE
