Feature of interest attributes
In the TERN Ontology, a Feature of Interest (FOI) is an ecological scale During a sampling event, observations (e.g. number of flowers, vegetation height, body mass) are performed on features of interest (foi). Features of interest are the “real world” objects that we are interested in sampling/measuring across different ecological scales (e.g. plant individual, animal population, soil , profile or climate). Observations are grouped by ecological scales (FOI) and the FOI type and feature id for each observation are returned with the observation. [Read more about Feature of Interest]However, every instance of FOI may have TERN’s LinkedData site has more information about Features of Interest.
Every instance of a FOI has additional attributes related exclusively to the instance. that instance. For example, the FOI is an individual plant, and there can be multiple instances of the FOI such as a specific tree or plant (tree1, tree2, tree3, etc).
This information can be accessed via the /foi/attributes endpoint.

System attributes
When an a system (instrument) was used to measure the result of an observation, the type of instrumentsystem and the instrument instance id is returned system instance identifier was recorded along the observation data.
However, an instance of an Instrument may have additional attributes Information about system attributes that are related exclusively to the an instance . This information can be accessed via the /instrumentssystems/attributes endpoint.
