This will typically be used to record environmentalparameters, or event-specific parameters that are not tightly boundto either the earth materials for which properties are beingestimated, or the procedure. Parameters that are tightly bound tothe procedure should be encoded within the procedureobject.
Base type for all measurements and quantitative testing procedures. Measurements include in-situ tests, laboratory tests, and monitoring activities that produce quantitative data. This abstract type is extended by Test (in-situ procedures), MaterialTest (laboratory procedures on samples), and Monitor (continuous or periodic monitoring) types.
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. This is doneby concatenating the URI for the document, a fragment separator, and the value of the idattribute.
