Class: Reaction
An EvaluatedActivity representing the catalytic reaction being studied.
__
Reaction is NOT a DataGeneratingActivity — it is the catalytic process
being observed, not the process that generates the dataset. A CatalysisDataset
is linked to the Reaction it is about via is_about_activity.
__
For operando experiments (e.g. in-situ XRD during a reaction), the dataset
carries both:
_ was_generated_by: Characterization (the measurement producing data)_
_ is_about_activity: Reaction (the catalytic process being monitored)_
__
The reactor is linked via carried_out_by as a ReactorDesignType (Device).
Reactants are linked via had_input_entity. The type of catalytic reaction
(e.g. ammonia synthesis, CO oxidation) is expressed via rdf_type using a
voc4cat or ChemO term.
