Description of specimen events 2006-03-11 Copyright (c) 2006 CSIRO - see https://www.seegrid.csiro.au/twiki/bin/view/Xmml/LegalNotices#Software_Notice An event concerning the preparation of samples for geochemical analysis. Used to describe steps up to the production of standard pulp. Typically composed into a history. The procedureUsed will refer to a SpecimenPreparationActivity, eg: Crush An event concerning the preparation of samples for geochemical analysis. Represents the decision to return a portion of material to store as a reject due to failing the last PulpPrepEvent quality-control guidelines. The procedureUsed will refer to a SpecimenPreparationActivity, eg: Store An event preparing some pulp with instrument-specific procedure. The procedureUsed will refer to a SpecimenPreparationActivity, eg: Fusion An event concerning the receipt of samples at a lab for geochemical analysis. Typically the first step of a history. Whilst the form of the sample will commonly be a bag of rock, it may conceivably be Pulp or even a fused bead, sent onto another lab eg: for verification. The procedureUsed will refer to a SpecimenPreparationActivity. An event concerning the reuse of the portion of some pulp for analysis. Typically the first step of a history An event concerning the repeating of measurement from a given point in the process. This results in the forking of a new adx:ProcessingHistory but will still refer to the original sample as the origin (in whatever state it arrived at the lab). An event immediately before measurement recording that an item about to be measured was put into a 'Tray' of some kind, with other items. Provides a physical grouping record if tracking contamination At the end of the history, something gets measured. The procedureUsed will point to an AssayProcedure Specimen material type Bullion Plant filter cakes High grade mineral concentrates and pan concentrates Drill core Drill cuttings Pulp Rock samples and/or chips Stream or lake sediments Slurries from process streams Soil (including Humus) Aqueous solution or suspension (effluent streams, cyanide solutions, etc.) Non-aqueous solution or suspension Vapor or gas Plant material
