Add a generic object loader #6

Description

@cmungall

The current loader is association-centric; i.e. each document is a relationship between two objects. This is useful for the majority of queries.

It would also be useful to have an object-centric loader. (TBD: define yaml in monarch repo). E.g. for monarch-initiative/monarch-app#756 (one row per variant).

Here we would have only one document per object. Relationships would be loaded into a multi-valued field named after the property. This means we have a less generic schema than oban.

Example fields (core):

  • id/curie
  • label
  • category
  • type
  • type_closure
  • description/definition
  • synomyms

This would be extended depending on the object type. E.g. for genomic features like variants we may have chrom, start, end (for simplicitly we would flatten to a single reference; for more complexity use cypher). For variants we may have a pathogenicity score. Etc.

@cmungall will define core schema, cc @nlwashington

Note that the mechanism here could be used to load ontology classes; but may as well just use owltools loader for this (cc @hdietze @kltm)
