Industry originating equipment/materials import #25

Please describe the issue in as much detail as possible

Sites like Alibaba and Amazon provide bulk broker services, where they list product catalogues openly. These product catalogues are also somewhat organised by categories, to aid our generalisation for the Agronomy Ontology.

The reason these sources may be apt for the Agronomy Ontology is that this Ontology connects the research with market products in varying settings (ie. Field trials, environments). Since these products are manufactured for profit and the originating concepts are difficult to associate with the base research, it is useful to add as many concepts as possible to create a potential core listing of selection.

A risk associated with these addition is that the weight between concepts may mislead without appropriate caution on true facts. I refer to associations within this as potential results and claims. In which case, it would be prudent to never include specific products, and instead to focus on pure concepts as much as possible (ie. Fertilisers, growth agents, purple Potatoes).
