Interface ConcentrationMeasurement

All Superinterfaces:

Collectable, SigPathEntity

All Known Implementing Classes:

ConcentrationMeasurementImpl

public interface ConcentrationMeasurement
extends SigPathEntity

Represents the measurement of the concentration of a chemical. The measurement has been done in a context which this object helps define. In version 1.0, the context is defined through the reference to the publication which describes the measurement. In version 1.2, we add support for the tissue in which the concentration has been measured, and the experimental method of measurement. Textual comments are now defined.
