Annotations
Abstract base type for observations: qualitative or categorical descriptions of azone or region.
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.
A legacy attribute for AGS trial pit sampling features, whereobservations of different strata can occur at the same depth in a pit: areference letter or number whose sole purpose is to link the stratum onthe face sketch of the trial pit to the observation.

Use it on the individual observation, not on the enclosing observation system. The test is what was described, not the kind of observation: give it when the subject of the description is the recovered material itself, and omit it when the description is an interpretation of the ground made along a sampling feature, even if a sample was recovered over the same interval. A core described stratigraphically is an observation of that sample and takes a sampleRef; a stratigraphy interpreted continuously down a borehole does not; the same holds for lithology. The same observation type can be used either way, so the author states it.
