Name Description
created_by The individual that created the entity.
curie A unique identifier for a thing. Must be either a CURIE shorthand for a URI or a complete URI
data_provider The organization (e.g. MOD) from which the data was sourced
data_provider_cross_reference CrossReference to the organization from which the data was sourced
date_created The date on which an entity was created. This can be applied to nodes or edges.
date_updated Date on which an entity was last modified.
db_date_created The date on which an entity was created in the Alliance database. This is distinct from date_created, which represents the date when the entity was originally created (i.e. at the MOD for imported data).
db_date_updated Date on which an entity was last modified in the Alliance database. This is distinct from date_updated, which represents the date when the entity was last modified and may predate import into the Alliance database.
internal Classifies the entity as private (for internal use) or not (for public use).
mod_internal_id The model organism database (MOD) internal identifier for the object
obsolete Entity is no longer current.
primary_external_id The primary external (non-Alliance) database identifier/curie for the object. Note that this may be an external (non-Alliance member) identifier for an object, like a UniProt ID for a protein, and may act as the MOD's/Alliance member's primary key for the entity.
taxon The taxon from which the biological entity derives.
updated_by The individual that last modified the entity.
