Annotations
Abstract base type for test specimens derived from samples or manufacturedmaterials. A specimen is a prepared portion of a sample used for a specificlaboratory test, typically prepared to standard dimensions and conditions (forexample trimmed, molded or cured) according to the test method. One sample can yieldseveral specimens for different tests or repeat testing. A specimen is describedwithin the specimen property of the diggs:Test or diggs:MaterialTest that tests it.
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.
