Re: [Proposal] CategoryCode as valid type for valueReference for any PropertyValue in Bioschemas/schema.org

Hi Luca,

I am including a snippet from the notes so people can have a feel for 
how things could look like:

*

{

    "@context": "http://schema.org",

    "@type": ["DataRecord"],

    "additionalProperty": [

        {

            "@type": "PropertyValue",

            "name": "diagnosis_available",

            "value": "urn:miriam:icd:C00-C97",

            "valueReference": [

                {

                    "@type": "CategoryCode",

                    "name": "Malignant neoplasms",

                    "url": 
"http://purl.bioontology.org/ontology/ICD10/C00-C97.9",

                    "codeValue": "C00-C97.9"

                }

            ]

        },

        {

            "@type": "PropertyValue",

            "name": "diagnosis_available",

            "value": "urn:miriam:icd:D00-D09",

            "valueReference": [

                {

                    "@type": "CategoryCode",

                    "name": "In situ neoplasms",

                    "url": 
"http://purl.bioontology.org/ontology/ICD10/D00-D09.9",

                    "codeValue": "D00-D09.9"

                }

            ]

        },

*
I also include the link the schema.org CategoryCode:
https://pending.schema.org/CategoryCode and their JSON-LD snippet

 1. {
 2.   "@context": "http://schema.org/",
 3.   "@type": "CategoryCode",
 4.   "codeValue": "Man",
 5.   "inCodeSet": "http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/resourceTypes"
 6. }



Question: Should 'inCodeSet' attribute be used instead ?

Best
