Specimen Class #4

Description

@saskiad

We need a specimen class to cover things like:

  • cell culture
  • biosamples (e.g. blood draws)
  • single cell?

Nathalie in Cell Science sending me some info on their cell culture needs.
There is a Cell Line Ontology that might be useful.

Consult with both cell science, brain science and immunology to make sure this covers different uses.

    In addition to defining the specimen class, the other classes (eg acquisition, data description) need to accept specimen id as well as subject id.

    should data description have a single field for either subject id or specimen id? Is it important to differentiate one vs the other?
    Currently, acquisition they are separate (and subject is required, which we probably have to change).
    But maybe we need a generic field for either id. Not sure what to call it.

    BDR decided on no specimen class. Cell Line has been added. Closed with PR #103
