It consists on two properties: the term identifier (termId) and its label (termLabel). This property and its structure is inherited across many other elements in the schemas. It is there, when inherited, where the real ontology constraint is put in place (e.g. using 'graphRestriction' keywords). Based on phenopacket's OntologyClass

The identifier of an ontology term must be in CURIE format (check property 'curieGeneralPattern'). Whether a specific term is valid or not according to an ontology hierarchy is checked at each specific termId using ontology validation keywords (e.g. 'graphRestriction').

It is not required that it matches the label of the termId within the referenced ontology, although it should. This is due to the fact that the source of truth will always be the termId, and not the label, which adds more context.
