    description: A unique identifier for a thing. Must be either a CURIE shorthand
      for a URI or a complete URI
    notes:
    - 'abstracted pattern: prefix:typecode-authshoulder-blade(.version)?(_seqsuffix)?'
    - a minimum length of 3 characters is suggested for typecodes, but 1 or 2 characters
      will be accepted
    - typecodes must correspond 1:1 to a class in the NMDC schema. this will be checked
      via per-class id slot usage assertions
    - minting authority shoulders should probably be enumerated and checked in the
      pattern

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