description: Date the incubation was harvested/collected/ended. Only relevant for
  incubation samples.
title: incubation collection date
deprecated: No longer needed. The harvest date is the harvested sample's own collection_date;
  the incubation can be recorded as a process (a MaterialProcessing subclass) that
  links the input and output samples and carries start_date and end_date. See https://github.com/microbiomedata/nmdc-schema/issues/2658
  and the example src/data/valid/Database-incubation-as-culturing.yaml.
notes:
- MIxS collection_date accepts (truncated) ISO8601. DH taking arbitrary precision
  date only
comments:
- Date should be formatted as YYYY(-MM(-DD)). Ie, 2021-04-15, 2021-04 and 2021 are
  all acceptable.
