The traits of entities and interactions that a scientist chooses to observe are typically influenced by the scientist's theories and hypotheses. The same is true of the way in which the scientist subdivides the observed world into individual entities and interactions between those entities. However, scientifically interesting traits that capture scientists’ interest typically change more frequently than the entities possessing the traits. The ontology is designed around this understanding, defining properties independently of entities and processes. This flexible architecture allows new properties to be defined and attached to entities and interactions without having to refine the underlying entity and interaction classes.
=== separating data collection from classification. as the volume of data increases and interpretations diverge there's no way to re-do classification manually.
