placeholder

A boolean property to indicate whether a data record/object/entity is intended to be a placeholder data object rather than a publicly displayed object with a proper ID, name and/or symbol, for example. For example, the Cassette class has been introduced to support FlyBase Cassette objects with IDs and names, but not every Alliance member has data tables/classes for these objects and any IDs or names/symbols would likely be derived and not helpful to end users. Data records/entities where the placeholder value is set to true would have various visible properties suppressed, so as not to confuse end users with private, internal or otherwise contrived representations.
