Some concepts have additional properties declared in EDAM:
Citation contains a dereferenceable URI, preferrably including a DOI, pointing to a citeable publication of the given data format.
Created in states which version of EDAM a concept was added in.
Documentation includes a URL within a Format concept pointing to its documentation.
Example lists one or more valid examples (among the identifiers).
File extension lists examples of usual file extensions of a format.
Media type includes a link pointing to a page specifying a media type of the given data format.
Obsolete since states the version since which an obsolete concept has been deprecated.
Regular expression constrains allowed values of types of identifiers (mostly accessions) and is useful for validation of inputs to tools.
