Class <<FeatureType>> AnalyticalSession

This class describes the time and operator of a particular laboratory analytical session. AnalyticalSession also has associated links to the type of instrument and analytical method used, processing steps applied to data collected during a session, and instrument parameters unique to that session.

Attributes

Name Type Bounds From Class Notes
time TM_Period 1..1 AnalyticalSession The time period during which the analysis was performed
Attribute tagged values
Tag Value
sequenceNumber 1
operator CI_ResponsibleParty 1..1 AnalyticalSession The name of the operator or organisation responsible for the analytical session
Attribute tagged values
Tag Value
sequenceNumber 2
parameter NamedValue 1..* AnalyticalSession This association is analogous to the "parameter" attribute of OM_Observation, but in this case describes environmental or instrument setting parameters that apply to an entire analytical session (eg, voltage, current, temperature, vacuum). The "name" attribute of NamedValue is implemented in OMXML as a byReference URI to a controlled list.
