Class: Characterization

A DataGeneratingActivity in which a catalyst sample or catalytic material

is characterized using an analytical technique.

__

The catalyst sample being characterized is linked via evaluated_entity.

The analytical protocol is linked via realized_plan using a

CharacterizationTechnique instance. The instrument used is linked via

carried_out_by as a Device.

__

The specific technique type is expressed via rdf_type using an ontology

term (e.g. CHMO:0000158 for powder XRD, CHMO:0000404 for XPS),

following DCAT-AP-PLUS Pattern 3 — exactly as NMRSpectroscopy uses

rdf_type: CHMO:0000613.
