UtilityClassClass ControlledVocabulary
Definition: This class represents a term from an external controlled vocabulary
(CV). Rationale: Controlled Vocabularies mark cases where BioPAX delegates the representation of a complex biological phenomena to an external controlled vocabulary development effort such as Gene Ontology. Each subclass of this class represents one such case and often has an associated “Best-Practice” external resource to use. See the documentation of each subclass for more specific information. Correct usage of controlled vocabularies are critical to data exchange and integration. Usage: The individuals belonging to this class must unambiguously refer to the source controlled vocabulary. This can be achieved in two manners: The xref property of this class is restricted to the unification xref class. It must point to the source controlled vocabulary. Alternatively the rdf-id of the member individuals can be set to the designated MIRIAM URN. It is a best practice to do both whenever possible. Although it is possible to use multiple unification xrefs to identify semantically identical terms across alternative controlled vocabularies, this is not a recommended practice as it might lead to maintenance issues as the controlled vocabularies change. There is no recommended use-case for directly instantiating this class. Please use its subclasses instead.
