class Implementation(identity: str, *, built: sbol3.Component | str = None, namespace: str = None, attachments: List[str] = None, name: str = None, description: str = None, derived_from: List[str] = None, generated_by: List[str] = None, measures: List[sbol3.SBOLObject] = None, type_uri: str = SBOL_IMPLEMENTATION)

Bases: sbol3.TopLevel

An Implementation represents a realized instance of a Component, such a sample of DNA resulting from fabricating a genetic design or an aliquot of a specified reagent. Importantly, an Implementation can be associated with a laboratory sample that was already built, or that is planned to be built in the future. An Implementation can also represent virtual and simulated instances. An Implementation may be linked back to its original design using the prov:wasDerivedFrom property inherited from the Identified superclass. An Implementation may also link to a Component that specifies its realized structure and/or function.

Parameters:

  • identity – this object’s Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). this URI MUST be globally unique among all other Identified object URIs. See SBOL 3.0.1 specification section 5.1. This can also be a displayId, which will be concatenated to a default namespace automatically.

  • type_uri – the concrete type of this object, specified as a URI. These are typically in the SBOL3 namespace, like http://sbols.org/v3#Sequence or http://sbols.org/v3#Component. This can also be the type URI of an extension class.

  • name – A human-readable name for this object, for display purposes.

  • description – Per the SBOL 3.0.1 specification, “a more thorough text description” of this object.

  • derived_from – The URIs of one or more SBOL or non-SBOL objects from which this object was derived. This property is defined by the PROV-O ontology.

  • generated_by – The URIs of one or more prov:Activity objects that describe how this object was generated. This property is defined by the PROV-O ontology.

  • measures – The URIs of one or more om:Measure objects, each of which refers to a om:Measure object that describes measured parameters for this object. om:Measure objects are defined by the OM ontology

accept(visitor: Any) → Any

Invokes visit_implementation on visitor with self as the only argument.

Parameters:

visitor (Any) – The visitor instance

Raises:

AttributeError – If visitor lacks a visit_implementation method

Returns:

Whatever visitor.visit_implementation returns

Return type:

Any
