Slot: subproperty_of
Ontology property which this slot is a subproperty of. Note: setting this property on a slot does not guarantee an expansion of the ontological hierarchy into an enumerated list of possible values in every serialization of the model.

into an enumerated list of possible values in every serialization of the model.'
examples:
- value: RO:HOM0000001
description: this is the RO term for "in homology relationship with", and used as
a value of subproperty of this means that any ontological child (related to RO:HOM0000001
via an is_a relationship), is a valid value for the slot that declares this with
the subproperty_of tag. This differs from the 'values_from' meta model component
in that 'values_from' requires the id of a value set (said another way, if an
entire ontology had a curie/identifier that was the identifier for the entire
ontology, then that identifier would be used in 'values_from.')
