<p>The authoritative versions of iSamples vocabularies are maintained as RDF/SKOS files in the <ahref="https://github.com/isamplesorg/">iSamples GitHub repositories</a>. Vocabulary terms are also registered with the <ahref="https://vocabs.ardc.edu.au/">Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) Research Vocabularies</a>.</p>
<p>One of the foundations for interoperability of iSamples material sample descriptions is the definition of vocabularies for the categorization of sample type. There are three core vocabularies for different aspects of sample type: material sample type, material type, and sampled feature type. Each vocabulary is maintained as an RDF file using the SKOS vocabulary, with hierarchical relationships using <ahref="https://www.w3.org/2009/08/skos-reference/skos.html#broader"><code>SKOS:broader</code></a>. In order to be domain agnostic, these core taxonomies cover a small set of top level terms. The taxonomies may be extended as necessary to support more specialized domains by relating additional terms using <code>SKOS:broader</code> and <code>SKOS:narrower</code>.</p>

<p>The iSamples taxonomies are used to characterize three fundamental concepts pertaining to physical samples:</p>
442
455
<oltype="1">
443
-
<li>The “iSamples Materials vocabulary” is a taxonomy of terms used to categorize the composition of a physical sample, that is “What material is the sample composed of?”</li>
444
-
<li>The “Sampled Feature Type Vocabulary” is a taxonomy of terms used to indicate what the sample is representative of.</li>
445
-
<li>The “iSamples Specimen Type Vocabulary” is a taxonomy of broad categories that classify what type of spcimen the physical sample record represents.</li>
