Intern talk:Method and Devices Terminology

SOP:

 * 1) When defining new methods, the terminology can, but must not be specified. Only the finest level applicable should be selected (best 3. or 4. Order). The higher level terms (e.g. 1. and 2. Order) of the terminology are then inherited (via the broader terms relationship)


 * 1) Addition of several terms per method are possible in case a method has different components, e.g. “balance” and “mass spectrometer”


 * 1) If no suitable category for "Other methods" is available yet, it might be better to wait with the mapping until the terminology has been improved


 * 1) Do not add or remove existing terms
