Repeatable Sample-label node Schema

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EbiEga/ega-metadata-schema/main/schemas/EGA.common-definitions.json#/$defs/sampleLabelAssociation

The base node of a label-sample association. One form of basic identification of the sample (inherited from objectCoreId - e.g. either the center name and alias or the accession) is required, as well as the label per se.

arrayLabel

Chemical conjugated to nucleic acid/proteins to label them before microarray hybridisation. This node defines one single label, and thus should be repeated as an array where inherited if multiple labels are intended to be described.
