For example taking a stratified sample, we first have the population divided into subpopulations according to the stratification variable (e.g. region is devided into habitats) As a second step from the subpopulation we choose trees randomly or stratify this further according to species. In the last case we can go on and choose trees from the sub-subpopulation. The question now is what types of choosing (called selections) at each level we can define now to be able to describe the common sampling methods. selection_method 2008-07-18 dimension Weight/Volume 2008-07-10 block 2008-07-25 scale Collection of all dropped Relations droppedRelation 2008-10-16 2008-10-16 hasMembershipOf expresses the relationship between person and membership 2008-10-16 isClassificationOf hasClassification Role of parameter-method within the selection description: Parameter - methode that classifies the sample. e.g. Soil type as classification for selected forest plots 2008-10-16 hasLinearity 2008-10-16 2008-10-16 isEnteredBy 2008-10-16 isMethodOf 2008-10-16 place to add all those objects, where the measurement is not done, but which describe the circumstances of the measurement Hilfsobjekt, secondaryObject,descriptionObject, definitionObject, help_object,subsidiary_object,additional_object, hasHelpObject hasSample 2008-10-15 isGroupOf 2008-10-16 hasReference 2008-10-08 hasTreatmentApplier 2008-10-16 TODO: find better term 2008-10-16 selectionDescription isUnitOf 2008-10-16 2008-10-16 isNumericDomainOf 2008-10-16 sampling Method of SelectionDescription hasSamplingMethod hasActor 2008-10-16 pointing to the scale of a parameterMethod 2008-10-16 hasScale 2008-10-16 HOW WHAT Parameter Method of a Value Set hasParameterMethod 2008-10-16 expresses the relationship between membership and person isMembershipOf 2008-10-16 isReferenceOf parameterMethod 2008-10-16 isMembershipFor expresses the relationship between membership and institution/team 2008-10-16 2008-10-16 hasUnit 2008-10-16 hasGroupintReason 2008-10-16 hasSuccessor 2008-10-16 hasOwner 2008-10-16 isDeviationReasonOf explainsDeviation 2008-10-16 A intersects B.

Example: All rare species birds seen at 10 reachable location at a certain time. First we select all locations which are reachable. From this we choose 10 locations randomly. At last we count (=parameter) all individuals from the population of rare species. Convenience_sampling 2008-07-11 2008-07-11 Random 2008-10-15 The sample is drawn in two or more stages (e.g. a selection of offices at the first stage and a selection of claimants at the second stage) Multi_stage_sampling Distance_Sampling This method originates from biology. A random line is taken (walked or sailed) and the perpendicular distance to an observation or cue is measured. 2008-10-15 Simple_random_sampling 2008-10-15 Ensures every member of the population has an equal chance of selection The population is sub-divided into homogenous groups, for example regions, habitats, size of type of establishment. The strata can have equal sizes or you may wish a higher proportion in certain strata. Stratified_sampling 2008-10-15 isCreatedBy who decided to use this concept in the ontology 2008-10-16 Scale_list 2008-10-15 Units in the population can often be found in geographical groups or clusters e.g. schools, households, habitats, etc. A random sample of clusters is taken, then all units within those clusters are examined. All individuals are chosen from a cluster. A cluster is defined by school (e.g. nearest houses are chosen) and each cluster is randomly chosen from the population of clusters in a region.
