Properties

  • appn:Observation appn:madeByObserver appn:Observer
    • Identifies the entity (Observer, i.e. one of a Person, Sensor or SoftwareApplication) responsible for carrying out an Observation.
  • appn:Observation appn:hasResult schema:Dataset
    • Identifies a data output from an Observation or Control assay. Individual values are represented by sosa:hasSimpleResult.
  • appn:Observation appn:hasResult schema:File
    • Identifies a data output from an Observation or Control assay. Individual values are represented by sosa:hasSimpleResult.
  • appn:Observation appn:usesData schema:Dataset
    • Identifies a data input to an Observation assay. This is intended for use in relation to Observations delivered using a SoftwareApplication.
  • appn:Observation appn:usesData schema:File
    • Identifies a data input to an Observation assay. This is intended for use in relation to Observations delivered using a SoftwareApplication.
  • appn:Observation appn:observes appn:ObservedVariable
    • Identifies an ObservedVariable controlled by an Observation assay. The Observation records or estimates the state of the ObservationVariable recorded as a value specified in a hasResult or hasSimpleResult property.
  • appn:Assay appn:isForObservationUnit appn:ObservationUnit
    • Relates an Assay to an ObservationUnit for which it is carried out. Note that when the Assay is an Observation, the model should infer a schema:observationAbout property from isForObservationUnit.
  • appn:Assay appn:usedMethod appn:Method
    • Identifies a Method used to conduct an Assay.
  • appn:ResearchActivity appn:isPartOf appn:ResearchActivity
    • Relates an Assay to the Study that includes it or a Study to an Investigation.
