Pydantic Models

Overview

The Biolink Model ("Biolink") is a semantic standard for encoding knowledge graph data. Biolink is built on the LinkML project which provides facilities for specifying a (YAML-encoded) master blueprint of biomedical data model semantics and for generating diverse computable representations of that model.

Given the primacy of the Python computing language in bioinformatics and biomedical knowledge management systems, one key representation of Biolink should be a Python code library.

The Pydantic object oriented community standard is leveraged by LinkML (hence, Biolink) for this purpose. Those Pydantic code libraries exposing the semantic content of the Biolink Model YAML blueprint are available here. In fact, the project provides both a Pydantic Release 1 version and Release 2 version of Pydantic code modules.
