Slot: local environmental context (env_local_scale)

Report the entity or entities which are in the sample or specimen’s local vicinity and which you believe have significant causal influences on your sample or specimen. We recommend using EnvO terms which are of smaller spatial grain than your entry for env_broad_scale. Terms, such as anatomical sites, from other OBO Library ontologies which interoperate with EnvO (e.g. UBERON) are accepted in this field. EnvO documentation about how to use the field: https://github.com/EnvironmentOntology/envo/wiki/Using-ENVO-with-MIxS.

  expected_value:
    tag: expected_value
    value: Environmental entities having causal influences upon the entity at time
      of sampling.
  tooltip:
    tag: tooltip
    value: The specific environmental entities or features near the sample or specimen
      that significantly influence its characteristics or composition. These entities
      are typically smaller in scale than the broad environmental context. Values
      for this field should be countable, material nouns and must be chosen from subclasses
      of BFO:0000040 (material entity) that appear in the Environment Ontology (ENVO).
      For host-associated or plant-associated samples, use terms from the UBERON or
      Plant Ontology to describe specific anatomical structures or plant parts.
