Hi Melanie, Alasdair NCBI links work well for Samples but not necessarily for those Biodiversity communities who want to expose their contect via schema/bioschemas, they need to specify name, id, and so on. Similar to what happens for proteins and others, rather than just using CategoryCode to point to UniProt ontology and terms, haing a Protein type would also enable a richer mark up. Also, I think Alasdair and Franck's question refers to properties rather than types. Taxon is proposed as a type, not as a property.
