Some numeric input is now in free text field, probably better to change that #4

The medicalBiomedicalDataTypeNumberOfSubjects could be made into an int type of field. And the medicalBiologicalSampleStorageTemperature could be made into a float. But for this filed it is not explicitly mentioned what the unit of measurement is, most likely is is Celcius. If we wanted other units, like Fahrenheit or Kelvin we could make it a compound field.

We will change the 'NumberOf' one ti type int, the otehr one we leave as-is for now. If that number is always low and specific, but if it is not... we are better of with a free text field. As an example; when the number is something like 'between 2 and 3 million'. Same as with the temperature, if it is always a measurement we can put it into a float, but otherwise it should be free text. Also note that with a measurement we could also indicate the uncertainty.
