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

Hi Luca, Matt,

I think you have not got feedback on the original matter, "CategoryCode 
as valid type for valueReference for any  PropertyValue in 
Bioschemas/schema.org".

+1 on my side, it makes sense not only for Samples but it should be 
useful as well for other profiles.

Regards,
