      (e.g. java classes, python classes) then is a is used. When translating a framework
      without polymorphism (e.g. json-schema, solr document schema) then is a and

      strict hierarchy, while keeping the benefits of multiple inheritance

      a specialized schema for my_organism where we wish to add a slot systematic_name,
      we can avoid subclassing by defining a class gene_my_organism, adding the slot
      to this class, and then adding an apply_to pointing to the gene class. The new
      slot will be 'injected into' the gene class.

      is the identifier of an entire value set.  Additionally, this is different than
      an enumeration in that in an enumeration, the values of the enumeration are
      listed directly in the model itself. 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.'

  string_serialization:
    name: string_serialization
    description: 'Used on a slot that stores the string serialization of the containing
      object. The syntax follows python formatted strings, with slot names enclosed
      in {}s. These are expanded using the values of those slots.

      We call the slot with the serialization the s-slot, the slots used in the {}s
      are v-slots. If both s-slots and v-slots are populated on an object then the
      value of the s-slot should correspond to the expansion.

      Implementations of frameworks may choose to use this property to either (a)
      PARSE: implement automated normalizations by parsing denormalized strings into
      complex objects (b) GENERARE: implement automated to_string labeling of complex
      objects

      For example, a Measurement class may have 3 fields: unit, value, and string_value.
      The string_value slot may have a string_serialization of {value}{unit} such
      that if unit=cm and value=2, the value of string_value shouldd be 2cm'
