History

Concepts

1.1 Material sample

  • A material entity that represents an entity of interest in whole or in part (http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/MaterialSample). Top concept in material sample object type hierarchy. Represents any material sample object.
  • Alternate labels: Physical specimen
  • Concept URI: https://w3id.org/isample/vocabulary/materialsampleobjecttype/materialsample
  • Other Properties:

1.1.1 Any aggregation material sample

  • Child of: Material sample
  • Sample consists of a bunch of material fragments, not related to the same object (e.g. not a bunch of broken pot sherds that might be reassembled), but taken together representative of the sampled feature. Examples: loose soil, sediment, crushed rock, particulate, bunches of unrelated pot sherd, human production waste, filtrates and residues. The sample requires some kind of container to keep it together. Cores of loosely consolidated material are considered ‘Solid material specimen’ when preserved such that the internal parts have spatial relationships (e.g. upper part, lower part, sedimentary structures).
