Add sample representation concept #15

Closed rartino closed 1 year ago

rartino commented 1 year ago

Based on today's discussion where it was expressed "sample" should be a more direct reference to the physical entity being measured, I here propose adding a concept that takes the other role. The "discussion" section expands on some thoughts on the use of this concept.

This seems like a necessary concept given our discussions. I think the EMMO experts will need to consider whether the representation of the nature of a sample is not already something that is available through the semiotic processes already available in EMMO, I have an intuition that it might be but don't feel comfortable enough to comment more concretely.

In the discussion with @CasperWA and @francescalb a few meetings back it made sense to us to define concepts like this in the crystallography ontology to be crystallography-specific, e.g., via: "... outcomes from crystallographic experiments" and then later they can be connect them to more generalized concepts outside the crystallography ontology.
