Aliases

  • biological process
  • metabolic pathway
  • signaling pathway

TODOs

  • If we reverted to including Reaction in the schema, then a Reaction would be a reasonable part_of a Pathway
  • is Pathway instantiated in an MongoDB collection? Aren't Pathways searchable in the Data Portal?

Identifier and Mapping Information

Valid ID Prefixes

    notes:
    - replaces legacy nmdc:type slot
    - makes it easier to read example data files
    - required for polymorphic MongoDB collections
