Constituent observations describe details of earth materials encounteredwithin a sampling feature. Constituent observations that are restricted to aspecific lithologic zone are encoded as constituent properties in the Lithologyzones themselves.
Database handle for the object. It is of XML type ID, so is constrained to beunique in the XML document within which it occurs. An external identifier for the object inthe form of a URI may be constructed using standard XML and XPointer methods.
