Returns meta knowledge graph representation of this TRAPI web service.

- MetaKnowledgeGraph: Knowledge-map representation of this TRAPI web service. The meta knowledge graph is composed of the union of most specific categories and predicates for each node and edge.
  - `nodes` object, required: Collection of the most specific node categories provided by this TRAPI web service, indexed by Biolink class CURIEs. A node category is only exposed here if there is node for which that is the most specific category available.
  - `edges` MetaEdge[], required: List of the most specific edges/predicates provided by this TRAPI web service. A predicate is only exposed here if there is an edge for which the predicate is the most specific available.
    - `subject` string, required: Compact URI (CURIE) for a Biolink class, biolink:NamedThing or a child thereof. The CURIE must use the prefix 'biolink:' followed by the PascalCase class name.
    - `predicate` string, required: CURIE for a Biolink 'predicate' slot, taken from the Biolink slot ('is_a') hierarchy rooted in biolink:related_to (snake_case). This predicate defines the Biolink relationship between the subject and object nodes of a biolink:Association defining a knowledge graph edge.
    - `object` string, required: Compact URI (CURIE) for a Biolink class, biolink:NamedThing or a child thereof. The CURIE must use the prefix 'biolink:' followed by the PascalCase class name.
    - `knowledge_types` string[], nullable: A list of knowledge_types that are supported by the service. If the knowledge_types is null, this means that only 'lookup' is supported. Currently allowed values are 'lookup' or 'inferred'.
    - `attributes` MetaAttribute[], nullable: Edge attributes provided by this TRAPI web service.
      - `attribute_type_id` string, required: A Compact URI, consisting of a prefix and a reference separated by a colon, such as UniProtKB:P00738. Via an external context definition, the CURIE prefix and colon may be replaced by a URI prefix, such as http://identifiers.org/uniprot/, to form a full URI.
      - `attribute_source` string, nullable: Source of an attribute provided by this TRAPI web service.
      - `original_attribute_names` string[], nullable: Names of an the attribute as provided by the source.
      - `constraint_use` boolean: Indicates whether this attribute can be used as a query constraint.
      - `constraint_name` string, nullable: Human-readable name or label for the constraint concept. Required whenever constraint_use is true.
    - `qualifiers` MetaQualifier[], nullable: Qualifiers that are possible to be found on this edge type.
      - `qualifier_type_id` string, required: A Compact URI, consisting of a prefix and a reference separated by a colon, such as UniProtKB:P00738. Via an external context definition, the CURIE prefix and colon may be replaced by a URI prefix, such as http://identifiers.org/uniprot/, to form a full URI.
      - `applicable_values` string[]: The list of values that are possible for this qualifier.
    - `association` string: Compact URI (CURIE) for a Biolink class, biolink:NamedThing or a child thereof. The CURIE must use the prefix 'biolink:' followed by the PascalCase class name.
