Slot: bindings
A collection of enum bindings that specify how a slot can be bound to a permissible value from an enumeration.
LinkML provides enums to allow string values to be restricted to one of a set of permissible values (specified statically or dynamically).
Enum bindings allow enums to be bound to any object, including complex nested objects. For example, given a (generic) class Concept with slots id and label, it may be desirable to restrict the values the id takes on in a given context. For example, a HumanSample class may have a slot for representing sample site, with a range of concept, but the values of that slot may be restricted to concepts from a particular branch of an anatomy ontology.
