    notes:
    - makes it easier to read example data files
    - required for polymorphic MongoDB collections
    comments:
    - 'Deprecating this slot was proposed and rejected: without it, a document read
      back from a polymorphic MongoDB collection cannot be resolved to the class it
      instantiates. It is required on every class for that reason, rather than as
      a convention inherited from LinkML.'

    comments:
    - DOIs should not be included as websites. Instead, use the associated_dois slot.
    - A consortium's homepage website should be included in the homepage_website slot,
      not in websites.
    - consortium is a convenience term for a Study whose study_category value is consortium
    - the website slot and its subproperties are virtually identical to the url slot,
      except that they are multivalued and url is single-valued.
