Feature of interest attributes

In the TERN Ontology, a Feature of Interest (FOI) is an ecological scale (e.g. plant individual, animal population, soil, climate). Observations are grouped by ecological scales (FOI) and the FOI type and feature id identifier are returned for each observation are returned with the observation. [Read more about Feature of Interest]However, every instance of . TERN’s LinkedData site has more information about Features of Interest.

Every instance of a FOI may have additional attributes related exclusively to the that instance. This information can be accessed via the /foi/attributes endpoint.

When an instrument was used to measure the result of an observation, the type of instrument and the instrument instance id is returned identifier was recorded along the observation data.

However, an instance of an Instrument may have additional attributes Information about additional Instrument attributes that are related exclusively to the an instance . This information can be accessed via the /instruments/attributes endpoint.
