title: collected by
notes:
- 'PHA4GE Wastewater Contextual Data Specification 4.4.4: close match to sample collected
  by (GENEPIO:0001153), the organization the sample collector is affiliated with;
  related match to sample collected by laboratory name (GENEPIO:0100428), since this
  slot is not limited to laboratories.'
- 'NCBI BioSample: close match to the collected_by attribute of the PHA4GE.wwsurv.1.0
  package, also used under that name by the SARS-CoV-2.wwsurv.1.0 package.'
- Kept as free text rather than a reference to an Organization so that submissions
  and NCBI imports need no entity resolution; a normalized link can be added later
  without losing the recorded name.
comments:
- Write the organization name in full and spell it the same way across samples. It
  names the utility, agency or laboratory that did the collecting, not a contact person.
