The presence of the continuant during the process is explicitly specified in the plan specification which the process realizes the concretization of. has_specified_input is_specified_input_of A relation between a planned process and a continuant participating in that process that is not created during the process. The presence of the continuant during the process is explicitly specified in the plan specification which the process realizes the concretization of. is_specified_input_of has_specified_output A relation between a planned process and a continuant participating in that process. The presence of the continuant at the end of the process is explicitly specified in the objective specification which the process realizes the concretization of. has_specified_output obsolete_has_function Relation between an independent continuant and a function. obsolete_has_function is_specified_output_of A relation between a planned process and a continuant participating in that process. The presence of the continuant at the end of the process is explicitly specified in the objective specification which the process realizes the concretization of. is_specified_output_of obsolete_has_role A relation between a continuant C and a role R. The reciprocal relation of role_of. obsolete_has_role achieves_planned_objective This relation obtains between a planned process and a objective specification when the criteria specified in the objective specification are met at the end of the planned process. achieves_planned_objective entity entity An entity that exists in full at any time in which it exists at all, persists through time while maintaining its identity and has no temporal parts. substantial entity material entity An independent continuant that is spatially extended whose identity is independent of that of other entities and can be maintained through time. material entity planned process A processual entity that realizes a plan which is the concretization of a plan specification. planned process processed material Is a material entity that is created or changed during material processing. processed material material processing A planned process which results in physical changes in a specified input material material processing material transformation specimen role a role borne by a material entity that is gained during a specimen collection process and that can be realized by use of the specimen in an investigation specimen role primer role a complementary nucleotide probe role which inheres in nucleic acid molecular entity and is realized by the use of the entity bearing the role to initiate chain elongation. primer role PCR product PCR product is double stranded DNA that is the specified output of a polymerase chain reaction polymerase chain reaction PCR PCR is the process in which a DNA polymerase is used to amplify a piece of DNA by in vitro enzymatic replication. As PCR progresses, the DNA thus generated is itself used as a template for replication. This sets in motion a chain reaction in which the DNA template is exponentially amplified. polymerase chain reaction material transformation objective an objective specifiction that creates an specific output object from input materials. artifact creation objective material transformation objective sequence data sequence data specimen A material entity that has the specimen role. specimen enzymatic amplification enzymatic amplification the use of enzymes to increase the number of molecules of a biomaterial antigen antigen is a material entity that has the antigen role
