Description
Summary
Determine and add subclasses of OrganismSample based on the key differentia:
- Multicellular vs single-cell — e.g., a mouse vs a pure culture vs a SAG
- Prokaryote vs eukaryote — different metadata needs (ploidy, tissue type, etc.)
- Pure culture vs individual organism — colony isolate vs whole animal/plant
- Cultured vs uncultured — following GOLD's
cultured/culture_type/uncultured_typepattern
Candidate subclasses (not prescriptive)
MulticellularOrganismSample— individual multicellular organism with heterogeneous tissues/cell typesPureCultureSample— nominally clonal culture derived by isolationSingleCellSample— single cell (e.g., SAG source)
Questions to resolve
- Which differentia warrant subclasses vs slots? GOLD uses slots (
cultured,culture_type,domain). Subclasses make sense only if the slot sets diverge significantly. - Can NCBI taxonomy (via
samp_taxon_id) supply some differentia implicitly (prokaryote/eukaryote, cultured/uncultured)? - Do we need a subclass for enrichment cultures or co-cultures, which don't meet the "all cells share the same genome" criterion?
