Subclass of:

• crmsci:S1 Matter Removal

Superclass of:

• crmsci:S3 Measurement by Sampling
• crmsci:S24 Sample Splitting

Scope note:

This class comprises the activity that results in taking an amount of matter as sample for further analysis from a material substantial such as a body of water, a geological formation or an archaeological object. The removed matter may acquire a persistent identity of different nature beyond the act of its removal, such as becoming a physical object in the narrower sense. The sample is typically removed from a physical feature which is used as a frame of reference, the place of sampling. In case of non-rigid Material Substantials, the source of sampling may regarded not to be modified by the activity of sample taking.

Examples:

• The water sampling (S2) carried out by IGME, sampled from borehole 10/G5 at 419058.03, 4506565 , 95.7 Mygdonia basin on 28/6/2005 (S2) (InGeoCloudS - INspiredGEOdata CLOUD Services D2.2 2012;D2.3 2013)
• The collection (S2) of specimen “FHO – Benth. - 1055” (S13) from a plant (E20) of the species “spiciformis” (E55) in Zambia by Bullock, A.A. in 1939 (S2).
• The collection (S2) of micro-sample 7, from the paint layer on the area of the apple shown on the painting “Cupid complaining to Venus” (Cranach) by Joyce Plesters in June 1963 (S2) (The National Gallery, London, 1963).

In First Order Logic:

• S2(x) ⇒ S1(x)

Outgoing properties:

• crmsci:O3 sampled from (was sample by) (0,n:1,n) → crmsci:S10 Material Substantial
• crmsci:O4 sampled at (was sampling location of) (0,n:1,1) → crm:E53 Place
• crmsci:O5 removed (was removed by) (0,n:1,n) → crmsci:S13 Sample
• crmsci:O20 sampled from type of part (type of part was sampled by) (0,n:0,n) → crm:E55 Type
