Specific type of Research Data, primary output of a Data Acquisition performed on a System, before any subsequent Data Processing.

Hierarchical entity which hosts one or more Laboratories.

Piece of Equipment used for carrying one or more Samples and/or one or more Sample Holders (depending on the scientific use case), which is helpful for, e.g., referencing, handling, or height adjustment. Examples of Sample Carrier are: a naked wafer, a glass slide, an individually designed metal frame, but also a Si crystal carrying a Sample of exfoliated graphene.

• Material ^c
• Sample ^c

Any software designed to interface directly with an Instrument in order to control and monitor Data Acquisition parameters (i.e., Settings), and to collect Raw Data. Regardless of whether the Acquisition Software is integrated with the Instrument or operates as a standalone application (e.g., installed on a separate computer or packaged as a virtual machine), it is considered part of the Instrument.

• SampleCarrier ^c
• SampleHolder ^c

Auxiliary entity, normally acquired from third-party manufacturers, used during Processing and Treatment or Measurement which has a limited time capacity or is limited in its number of uses before it is disposed of. Consumables are not part of the Instrument. Examples of Consumable are: gloves, syringes, wipes, etching solutions, glass slides, spatulas, weighing paper, two-sided tape.

Experimental Data Acquisition performed by one or more Research Users on one or more physical Systems (Materials or Samples) using an experimental Technique. One or more Measurements may also be performed during Processing and Treatment, e.g., to characterize the intermediate stages and/or the final resulting physical System(s). A Measurement may require the use of Consumables.

Piece of Equipment used for making one or more Samples accessible for a Measurement or for holding them in place in the predefined position to be mounted inside the Instrument. Examples of Sample Holder are: a glass slide, a TEM grid, or a tilting support. Depending on the scientific use case, a Sample Holder may carry or be carried by a Sample Carrier.

Set of actions (physical changes or chemical reactions) carried out by one or more Research Users, a commercial enterprise, or a third party, performed on (or between) one or more physical Systems to produce them, treat them, or prepare them for a subsequent Measurement, under controlled conditions described by Settings. Processing and Treatment may require the use of Equipment and Consumables. One or more Measurements may also be performed during Processing and Treatment, e.g., to characterize the intermediate stages and/or the final resulting physical System(s). The output of Processing and Treatment is one or more physical Systems. Examples of Processing and Treatment are: synthesis, fabrication, any type of Material or Sample treatment (e.g., thermo-mechanical or surface treatment), and Sample preparation.

Physical or virtual place hosted by an Institution, where the Equipment (including Instruments), is located and can be physically, virtually, and/or remotely accessed to perform any of the processes during the course of a Study.

Broad term used to define a physical System, typically a substance or mixture of substances, in different states of matter or phases, of which something is composed or can be made. According to this definition, a Sample is constituted by at least one Material. Material(s) may undergo some kind of Processing and Treatment and/or Measurement.

Physical System, composed by one or more Materials, exposed to the Instrument during a Measurement, typically after some kind of Processing and Treatment. Sample may be held by a Sample Holder and/or carried by a Sample Carrier.

hasMeasurementTechnique represents the relationship between measurement to measurement technique.

Relates a Sample Carrier to a Sample or Sample Holder that it carries.

hasAcquisitionSoftware represents the relationship between instrument to acquisition software

Direct relationship between Sample and Material(s) it is composed of

hasMeasurement represents the relationship between study to measurement.

hasProcessingAndTreatment represents the relationship between study to processing and treatment activity.

Relates a Sample Holder to a Sample that it holds in place.

hosts represents the relationship between institution to laboratory.

isCarriedBy is the inverse property of carries.

isHeldBy is the inverse property of holds.

isMaterialOf is the inverse property of hasMaterial.

isMeasurementOf is the inverse property of hasMeasurement.

uses is an object property relating the thing with a consumable.
