AbstractSpecimen serves as the head of a substitution group for concretespecimen specializations based on specimen state or type: eg. soil, liquid, gas,rock. A specimen derives from one or more Samples, is created as part of a testprocedure, and exists only in the context of the test procedure that createsit.
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.
<div><h3>lang (as an attribute name)</h3><p>denotes an attribute whose value is a language code for the natural language of the content of any element; its value is inherited. This name is reserved by virtue of its definition in the XML specification.</p></div><div><h4>Notes</h4><p>Attempting to install the relevant ISO 2- and 3-letter codes as the enumerated possible values is probably never going to be a realistic possibility.</p><p>See BCP 47 at<a href="http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/bcp/bcp47.txt">http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/bcp/bcp47.txt</a>and the IANA language subtag registry at<a href="http://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry">http://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry</a>for further information.</p><p>The union allows for the 'un-declaration' of xml:lang with the empty string.</p></div>
