The biosample table will contain one row per biosample in your Program

Field Field Description Required? Attributes Extra Info
project_id_namespace ID of the identifier namespace for the primary project within which this biosample was created Required Every row must have a value; Value type is string If you have not implemented multiple namespaces, this will be the same as id_namespace.
project_local_id Foreign key identifying the primary project within which this biosample was created Required Every row must have a value; Value type is string For each row (each biosample), this will be the value of 'local_id' in the project table for the project this biosample came from
persistent_id A persistent, resolvable (not nec. retrievable) URI generated by a DCC and attached to this biosample Non-required The value in each row must be different; Value type is string; Any number of rows after the header can be filled Meant to serve as a permanent address to which landing pages (which summarize metadata associated with this file) and other relevant annotations and functions can optionally be attached, including information enabling resolution to a network location from which the file can be downloaded. Actual network locations must not be embedded directly within this identifier: one level of indirection is required in order to protect persistent_id values from changes in network location over time as files are moved around.
