Sample Model¶

The Sample model is used to describe a biological or physical sample used in an experiment, such as a cell line or tissue specimen.

Properties¶

Property	Type	Description	Required
`guid` (alias: `@id`)	`str`	The unique, resolvable identifier for the Sample.	Yes
`name`	`str`	A human-readable name for the sample.	Yes
`author`	`Union[str, List[str]]`	The person, people, or organization that prepared or provided the sample.	Yes
`description`	`str`	A detailed description of the sample, its source, and any preparation steps (min 10 characters).	Yes
`keywords`	`List[str]`	A list of keywords to aid in discovery.	Yes
`metadataType` (alias: `@type`)	`Optional[str]`	The schema.org type. Defaults to `https://w3id.org/EVI#Sample`.	No
`contentUrl`	`Optional[Union[str, List[str]]]`	A URL pointing to more information about the sample type.	No
`cellLineReference`	`Optional[IdentifierValue]`	A link (by `@id`) to a `BioChemEntity` that formally describes the cell line.	No
