 ## Extending the OBI Core Assay Pattern
-Since 'assay' is a specialization of 'planned process', we know that its method must be 
-a kind of 'plan specification'. In OBI, we find the class 'investigation assay specification', which is defined as a 
-'plan specification' about an assay that indicates the assay type, and which also called 'Project Method'. Some provided 
-examples for this class are: sequence or mass spectrometry. Hence, we can say that the 'assay objective' is an 
-essential part of this class. Similarly, we can say that the information which determines the essential experimental 
-setup of a specific assay, such as the needed devices and device settings, must also be an essential part of the 
-'investigation assay specification'.

+Some provided examples for this class are: sequence or mass spectrometry. Hence, we should be using this subclass of 
+'plan specification' in our assay pattern, and we can assert that an essential part of it is an 'assay objective'.

 ### Assay Devices
 To represent the instruments used in an assay, we can import the already existing 'device' class from OBI and link 
-it to 'assay' via the 'has specified input' relation. The definition of this relation makes clear that the range of it, 
-in our case a 'device', must be specified in a 'plan specification', in our case an 'investigation assay specification'.
-
-### Device Settings 
-Representing the device settings of an assay is a bit more complex. From IAO, we can use the class ['setting datum'](https://terminology.nfdi4chem.de/ts/ontologies/vibso/terms?iri=http%253A%252F%252Fpurl.obolibrary.org%252Fobo%252FIAO_0000140), 
-to represent the part of an 'investigation assay specification' that is about the device setting, since it is defined 
-as a 'data item' "that denotes some configuration of an instrument". We can thus also link it directly to an 
-'assay' via the 'is specified input' relation. What we need to represent next in this extended pattern is the 
-relation between the 'setting datum' and the characteristic of the assay device that it determines. As a 
-'device' is a material entity, its configurable characteristics can be represented with the class ['physical object 
-quality'](https://terminology.nfdi4chem.de/ts/ontologies/vibso/terms?iri=http%3A%2F%2Fpurl.obolibrary.org%2Fobo%2FPATO_0001241), 
-which we can import from the Phenotype and Trait Ontology (PATO). It is the parent class of more specific physical 
-characteristics, such as temperature, wavelength, mass or position, and it can be related to the device via the 
-['quality of'](https://terminology.nfdi4chem.de/ts/ontologies/vibso/props?iri=http%3A%2F%2Fpurl.obolibrary.org%2Fobo%2FRO_0000080) relation from BFO. To be able to say that a 'setting datum' determines the value of such a device 
-characteristic, we can use the RO relation 'causally influences'. 
-
-Since the actual quantitative value specified in a 'setting datum' can be encoded using different units of measurement,
-we also need a way to formally represent this. The way this is currently done in OBI is via the 
-['value specification'](https://terminology.nfdi4chem.de/ts/ontologies/obi/terms?iri=http%3A%2F%2Fpurl.obolibrary.org%2Fobo%2FOBI_0001933) class, which is defined as an information "that specifies a value within a classification 
-scheme or on a quantitative scale". We can link this class to a 'setting datum' via the ['has value specification'](https://terminology.nfdi4chem.de/ts/ontologies/vibso/props?iri=http%3A%2F%2Fpurl.obolibrary.org%2Fobo%2FOBI_0001938) 
-relation which is a specialization of the very general 'has part' relation. For the part of this value encoding that 
-represents a given measurement unit, such as any SI unit, we can use one of the instances of the class '[unit](https://terminology.nfdi4chem.de/ts/ontologies/uo/terms?iri=http%3A%2F%2Fpurl.obolibrary.org%2Fobo%2FUO_0000000)' 
-defined in the Unit Ontology (UO), and link it via the ['has measurement unit label'](https://terminology.nfdi4chem.de/ts/ontologies/vibso/props?iri=http%3A%2F%2Fpurl.obolibrary.org%2Fobo%2FIAO_0000039) relation from IAO. The last
-missing pieces are the links between a value specification and the actual literal value respectively the device 
-characteristic. Both are defined in OBI as ['has specified value'](https://terminology.nfdi4chem.de/ts/ontologies/obi/props?iri=http%3A%2F%2Fpurl.obolibrary.org%2Fobo%2FOBI_0002135), respectively ['specifies value of'](https://terminology.nfdi4chem.de/ts/ontologies/obi/props?iri=http%3A%2F%2Fpurl.obolibrary.org%2Fobo%2FOBI_0001927).

+### Assay Device Settings 
+To represent the part of an 'investigation assay specification' that is the information which specifies what kind of 
+configurable qualities an assay device must have, we can use the class ['setting datum'](https://terminology.nfdi4chem.de/ts/ontologies/vibso/terms?iri=http%253A%252F%252Fpurl.obolibrary.org%252Fobo%252FIAO_0000140), since it is defined as a 
+'data item' about "some configuration of an instrument". To represent the configurable device quality 
+specified by a setting datum, we can use the class ['physical object quality'](https://terminology.nfdi4chem.de/ts/ontologies/vibso/terms?iri=http%3A%2F%2Fpurl.obolibrary.org%2Fobo%2FPATO_0001241) from the Phenotype and Trait 
+Ontology (PATO), as it is the parent class of more specific physical qualities, such as temperature, wavelength, mass or 
+position. This quality can be related to the device via the ['quality of'](https://terminology.nfdi4chem.de/ts/ontologies/vibso/props?iri=http%3A%2F%2Fpurl.obolibrary.org%2Fobo%2FRO_0000080) relation from BFO.

+['has measurement unit label'](https://terminology.nfdi4chem.de/ts/ontologies/vibso/props?iri=http%3A%2F%2Fpurl.obolibrary.org%2Fobo%2FIAO_0000039) relation from IAO. The last missing pieces are the links between a value 
+specification and the actual literal value respectively the configurable device quality. Both are defined in 
+OBI as ['has specified value'](https://terminology.nfdi4chem.de/ts/ontologies/obi/props?iri=http%3A%2F%2Fpurl.obolibrary.org%2Fobo%2FOBI_0002135), respectively ['specifies value of'](https://terminology.nfdi4chem.de/ts/ontologies/obi/props?iri=http%3A%2F%2Fpurl.obolibrary.org%2Fobo%2FOBI_0001927).

 this in from of the following graph:
