This was subsumbed into fugo:occurrent, which itself has now been subsumed into bfo:occurrent. editorial note Not sure whether this is the same as study; needs clarification (MM). preferred label Experiment birn_annot:hasCurationStatus http://ontology.neuinfo.org/NIF/Backend/BIRNLex_annotation_properties.owl#pending_final_vetting obo_annot:createdDate 2006-04-04 birn_annot:hasBirnlexCurator http://ontology.neuinfo.org/NIF/Backend/BIRNLex_annotation_properties.owl#BIRN_OTF http://ontology.neuinfo.org/NIF/Backend/BIRNLex_annotation_properties.owl#Bill_Bug http://ontology.neuinfo.org/NIF/Backend/BIRNLex_annotation_properties.owl#Maryann_Martone SuperClass process http://www.ifomis.org/bfo/1.1/span#Process http://www.ifomis.org/bfo/1.1/span#Process InstanceCount 0 SubClass RdfType rdfs:subClassOf processual_entity http://www.ifomis.org/bfo/1.1/span#ProcessualEntity http://www.ifomis.org/bfo/1.1/span#ProcessualEntity class rdfs:label process ChildCount 5 rdfs:comment Definition: A processual entity [span:ProcessualEntity] that is a maximally connected spatiotemporal whole and has bona fide beginnings and endings corresponding to real discontinuities.

It was formerly a subclass of occurrent, which is too deep in the hierarchy for an object as concrete as an experiment. We need to determine how to use the study & investigation classes from OBI under bfo:process (BB). birn_annot:bonfireID BF_T0000189 obo_annot:modifiedDate 2006-10-11 birn_annot:birnlexDefinition A set of actions and observations, performed to verify or falsify a hypothesis or research a causal relationship between phenomena. The experiment is a cornerstone in empirical approach to knowledge. (adapted from wikipedia.org) class
