Description of assay 'specimens' and the processing chain which leads to them. For now, keeping as close as possible to the original adxSpecimen. 2006-03-09 Copyright (c) 2006 CSIRO - see https://www.seegrid.csiro.au/twiki/bin/view/Xmml/LegalNotices#Software_Notice Matches the om:time in om:ProcedureEventType matches the om:responsible in om:EventType Person or organisation responsible for the event, if applicable. The nature of the responsibility (i.e. the role of the party with respect to the event) may be indicated using the xlink:arcrole attribute. Examples of roles are operator, sponsor, requestor, provider, processor, etc. Stands in for om:measureParameter in Events. For standardised chains, put the params in the ProtoEvent instances. When params vary, override with measureParameter properties added to the ProtoParam instances inside the ProcessingHistory. Description of event in the prototypical histories. Can be directly converted into an Event of some kind, with additional data from a ProtoParams subtype. sequence of ProtoEvents. Their sequence here is used as an ordinal sequence indexed by ProtoParams so it can be easily mapped by some post-processing XSLT etc. Adds parameters to a ProtoEvent. Create subclasses for each subclass of ProtoEvent that needs values. link to matching ProtoEvent Description of assay specimen, including chain-of-custody if required. This preservative code is required to indicate the exact preservative used to maintain stability of the specimen. The specimen matrix information is required to provide the USA EPA with environmental reference material from compliant laboratories The specimen media information is required to provide the USA EPA with environmental reference material from compliant laboratories The current status of the specimen. If the custody chain is complete, then this will reflect the outcome of the most recent custody operation. Current status of specimen Empty container – no specimen Insufficient specimen provided Specimen not found - Missing or Lost Specimen Not Received Specimen destroyed in Analysis Specimen destroyed in preparation Specimen returned to requestor Specimen stored by provider Current status unknown As specified by provider
