review use of skos object prop 'determined by' #30

Open mobb opened 7 years ago

review these, or replace with another object property. in measurementTypes, they are probably used wrong. definition of the property says that s determined by f if and only if s is a type of system, and f is a material entity that is part of s, such that f exerts a strong causal influence

so both are entities, eg, you could probably say phytoplankton 'determined by' microalgae or soil active layer 'determined by' permafrost (now done, rule added to ECSO 0575)

but it should not be a rule on a measurementType, eg, soil active layer depth

has_part could be a good substitute, eg organic_material has_part some carbon and it has an inverse, so carbon part_of organic material
