historyNote: 2010-02-11 Add narrower relationship links by adding skos:narrower link in Protege, defining skos:narrower as inverse of skos:broader, calculating with Pellet reasoner to add inferred axioms, and using 'file/Export inferred axioms as ontology' in Protege.
historyNote: 2010-11-28 SMR Replace URN identifiers with http URI identifiers according to CGI URI scheme (see https://www.seegrid.csiro.au/wiki/bin/view/CGIModel/PersistentIdentifiersInGeoSciMLServices)

Definition (en) For use in instance descriptions to indicate that no data are available to constrain metamorphic facies. May be metamorphosed or non-metamorphosed.

-- No metamorphic minerals --

URI http://resource.geosciml.org/classifier/cgi/metamorphicfacies/0009
Preferred label (en) No metamorphic minerals
Definition (en) Corresponds to non-metamorphosed condition; since metamorphic facies classification is based on mineral assemblages, absence of metamorphic minerals means that the classification does not apply.
