Subclass of:

• crmsci:S2 Sample Taking
• crmsci:S21 Measurement

Scope note:

This class comprises activities of taking a sample and measuring or analyzing it as one unit of activity, in which the sample is typically not identified and preserved beyond the context of this activity. Instances of this class describe the taking of one or more samples regardless whether they are explicitly identified in documentation or preserved beyond this activity. The dimensions observed by the respective measurement of this particular sample are regarded as dimensions of the instance of S10 Material Substantial at the place from which the samples were taken. Therefore, the class S3 Measurement by Sampling inherits the properties of S2 Sample Taking. O3 sampled from: S10 Material Substantial and O4 sampled at: E53 Place, and the properties of S21(E16) Measurement. P40 observed dimension: E54 Dimension, due to multiple inheritance. It needs not instantiate the properties O5 removed: S13 Sample and O24 measured: S15 Observable Entity, if the sample is not documented beyond the context of the activity.

Examples:

• The chemical Analysis 1 on 20/4/2004 sampled from layer 50501 and observed 70 mg of Ca (InGeoCloudS - INspiredGEOdata CLOUD Services D2.2 2012;D2.3 2013)
• The Sphaerosyllislevantina specimen length measurement on 12/3/1999 (Bekiari et al., 2014) 5 Measurement (S3) of retention times during Gas Chromatography analysis of a paint sample “mid-blue paint for the sky” (S13) which identified Linseed oil as the paint medium (Foister, S, 2015).

In First Order Logic:

• S3(x) ⇒ S2(x)
• S3(x) ⇒ S21(x)
