Dear all,
In the last meeting I was asked to revise the scope note for O27 split
and provide a more specific example for it. Please consider these:
Old scope note
This property associates an instance of S2 Sample Taking with an
instance of S13 Sample that was removed during this activity. The
resulting S13 Sample maintains the characteristic qualities of the the
instance of S10 Material Substantial that the sample was taken from.
This property should be used to model cases when a homogenous sample is
split into multiple ones.
Revised scope note
This property associates an instance of S2 Sample Taking with an
instance of S13 Sample that was removed during this activity. The
resulting S13 Sample maintains the characteristic qualities of the
instance of S10 Material Substantial (i.e. the original sample) that the
new sample was taken from. This supports reasoning that the new sample
retains/preserves the characteristic qualities of the original sample.
Any observations of these qualities made on the new sample also apply to
the original one. This property should be used to model cases when a
homogenous sample is split into multiple ones.
New example (with recommended introduction):
In 2000, Godfrey et al. [1] took a sample from a section of the tusk
fragment GT993 which was originally found in the ship-wreck of Vergulde
Draeck in Western Australia. This sample was homogenous (ground to fine
powder). Part of the sample was then removed for elemental analysis
using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES).
Another part was removed for carbon/nitrogen analysis using a LECO analyser.
The activity (S2) of removing a part from the sample (S13), which was
originally taken from the tusk fragment GT993 by Godfrey et al. in 2000,
*split* the sample to create a new one (S13) for ICP-AES analysis in
order to reveal the composition of the original sample.

All the best,
Thanasis
