PropertyExpected TypeDescription
Properties from CustodyEvent
abstract Text  An abstract is a short description that summarizes an CustodyEvent
accessibilityHazard Text A characteristic of the described resource that is physiologically dangerous to some users. Related to WCAG 2.0 guideline 2.3 (WebSchemas wiki lists possible values).
encoding MediaObject  A media object that encodes this CreativeWork. This property is a synonym for associatedMedia. Supersedes encodings.
encodingFormat Text  or
URL  		Media type typically expressed using a MIME format (see IANA site and MDN reference) e.g. application/zip for a SoftwareApplication binary, audio/mpeg for .mp3 etc.).

In cases where a AnalysisSample has several media type representations, encoding can be used to indicate each MediaObject alongside particular encodingFormat information.

Unregistered or niche encoding and file formats can be indicated instead via the most appropriate URL, e.g. defining Web page or a Wikipedia/Wikidata entry. Supersedes fileFormat.
exchangeLocation PostalAddress or GeoCoordinates  or
GeoShape  or
Organization  or
Person  or
Place or VirtualLocation		 Specifies the place, address, geolocaiton where the receipt of the StorageContainer was taken.
keywords DefinedTerm  or

URL  		Keywords or tags used to describe this AnalysisSample. Multiple entries in a keywords list are typically delimited by commas.
packageCondition Text Specifies a description of the package's condition that an AnalysisSample StorageContainer
parameterOfInterest Substance or CreativeWorkText  Specifies a parameter being tested for. Can be an analyte (i.e. Benzene, SARS-Cov-2 RNA) or measurment of a property (pH, alkalinity, viscosity) or referene published CreativeWork (analytical method)
storageContainer StorageContainer  Specifies a single container holding a portion of an AnalysisSample or multiple containers possibly representing other AnalysisSamples
storageLocation PostalAddress or GeoCoordinates  or
GeoShape  or
Organization  or
Person  or
Place 		 Specifies the final location or person that the StorageContainer ends up when the CustodyEvent is executed
receiptTemperature MeasuredParameter Specifies the measured temperature during receipt of the package or StorageContainer
receivingCustodian Person  Specifies who received the StorageContainer
sdPublisher Organization  or
Person 		Indicates the party responsible for generating and publishing the current structured data markup, typically in cases where the structured data is derived automatically from existing published content but published on a different site. For example, student projects and open data initiatives often re-publish existing content with more explicitly structured metadata. The sdPublisher property helps make such practices more explicit.
text Text The textual content of this CreativeWork.
thumbnailUrl URL  A thumbnail image relevant to the Analytical Sample
video Clip  or
VideoObject 		 An video object that bears record of the presence or nature of the AnalyticalSample
Properties from Event
additionalType URL An additional type for the item, typically used for adding more specific types from external vocabularies in microdata syntax. This is a relationship between something and a class that the thing is in. In RDFa syntax, it is better to use the native RDFa syntax - the 'typeof' attribute - for multiple types. Schema.org tools may have only weaker understanding of extra types, in particular those defined externally.
alternateName Text An alias for the item.
description Text A description of the item.

Inverse property: mainEntity.
name Text The name of the item.
startDate Date  or

url URL URL of the item.

Examples:

A UTM Tube containing a swab was picked up at at 7:10 PM by a field sampling driver named Howard DeClerc. He placed it in his van’s freezer compartment at 7:20. The temperature of the freezer compartment was recorded to be -12 C at that time.
