ExternalEvent

https://schema.plantphenomics.org.au/ExternalEvent

A default entity to represent any trigger outside the control of the experimenters that may affect the state of the experiment and alter a Variable of interest, e.g. severe weather events or equipment failures. Where possible, the resulting state of the experiment should be quantified and the ExternalEvent modeled as the Controller for a Control event. Where quantification is impossible, the ExternalEvent should be modeled as the Controller for a Treatment event.
