Subclass of:

• crmsci:S11 Amount of Matter

Scope note:

This class comprises instances of S11 Amount of Matter taken from some instance of S10 Material Substantial with the intention to be representative for some material qualities of the instance of S10 Material Substantial or part of it was taken for further analysis. We typically regard a sample as ceasing to exist when the respective representative qualities become corrupted, such as the purity of a water sample or the layering of a bore core.

Examples:

• the ground water sample with ID 105293 that was extracted from the top level of the intake No32 under terrain (S13, S12) (Lucchese et al., 2013; Kritikos et al., 2013; InGeoCloudS, 2012; InGeoCloudS, 2013).
• the micro-sample 7, taken from the painting ‘Cupid complaining to Venus’ (Cranach) by Joyce Plesters in June, 1963 (S13) (The National Gallery, London, 1963).

In First Order Logic:

• S13(x) ⇒ S11(x)

Incoming properties:

• crmsci:S2 Sample Taking → crmsci:O5 removed (was removed by) (0,n:1,n)
• crmsci:S24 Sample Splitting → crmsci:O27 split (was source for) (0,n:0,n)
• crmsci:S24 Sample Splitting → crmsci:O29 removed sub-sample (was sub-sample removed by) (0,n:0,n)
