Definition: Performed an unspecified action on the specimen.

Example usage: A signature/agent name was automatically read from a label and connected to an identifier, without knowing which action this agent performed. The exact action may also be unclear/ambiguous in the written source.

Also possible to use a more elaborate vocabulary for unknown instead, as described in table 2 of this paper: https://doi.org/10.1093/database/baz129
