BioSample referenced as type only in JSON-LD

[thomasrosnet]

Hello,

I would like to report an issue concerning both the BioSample Profile and Type:
BioSample definition in the JSON-LD of DDE and Specifications github repositories seems to be defined as a Type only and not a Profile. But on the Bioschemas website, it is shown as both a Profile and a Type.

Profile: https://bioschemas.org/profiles/BioSample/0.1-DRAFT-2019_11_12
Type: https://bioschemas.org/types/BioSample/0.1-RELEASE-2019_06_19

Why is the BioSample profile missing in the DDE JSON-LD file ?

Hi @thomasrosnet the BioSample profile has not yet been generated in JSON-LD in the specifications folder, which is why it has similarly not been propagated into the DDE. The reason is that the draft BioSample profile on the website lacks cardinality information for the majority of its properties, so I simply didn't know how to set the JSON Schema validation rules for it. This is not an issue for types since JSON Schema validation rules are not used for types.

A group from the 2022 Biohackathon is working on updating this class, so hopefully a more complete draft will be created in the near future.
