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 for each observation are returned with the observation. [Read more about Feature of Interest]
However, every instance of FOI may have additional attributes related exclusively to the instance. This information can be accessed via the /foi/attributes endpoint.
Request example:
curl -X POST "https://ecoplots-test.tern.org.au/api/v1.0/foi/attributes?dformat=ndjson" -H "accept: */*" -H "Authorization: apikey-v1 your-api-key" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"query\":{\"dataset\":[\"http://linked.data.gov.au/dataset/ausplots\"],\"site_id\":[\"http://linked.data.gov.au/dataset/ausplots/site-nsabbs0001\"]}}"

Instrument attributes
When an instrument was used to measure the result of an observation, the type of instrument and the instrument instance id is returned along the observation data.
However, an instance of an Instrument may have additional attributes related exclusively to the instance. This information can be accessed via the /instruments/attributes endpoint.
Request example:
curl -X POST "https://ecoplots-test.tern.org.au/api/v1.0/instruments/attributes?dformat=ndjson" -H "accept: */*" -H "Authorization: apikey-v1 your-api-key" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"query\":{\"dataset\":[\"http://linked.data.gov.au/dataset/ausplots\"],\"site_id\":[\"http://linked.data.gov.au/dataset/ausplots/site-nsabbs0001\"]}}"

Taxon
EcoPlots stores Taxonomic information about all vegetative species collected in the various datasets. This information is sourced from Australian Plant Name Index, and it can be retrieved using the /taxon endpoint.
Request example:
curl -X POST "http://localhost:5000/api/v1.0/taxon?dformat=ndjson" -H "accept: */*" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"query\":{\"dataset\":[\"http://linked.data.gov.au/dataset/ausplots\"],\"site_id\":[\"http://linked.data.gov.au/dataset/ausplots/site-nsabbs0001\"]}}"
