#bioassay  appraisal of the biological activity of a substance by testing its effect on an organism and comparing the result with some agreed standard
  subtype:  #immunoassay  identification of a substance (especially a protein) by its action as an antigen; "PSA in the blood can be measured with an immunochemical assay"
  supertype:  #assay  an appraisal of the state of affairs; "they made an assay of the contents"; "a check on its dependability under stress"
     supertype:  #appraisal__assessment  the classification of someone or something with respect to its worth
        supertype:  #classification.basic_cognitive_process__categorization__categorisation__sorting  the basic cognitive process of arranging into classes or categories
           supertype:  #basic_cognitive_process__basiccognitiveproces  cognitive processes involved in obtaining and storing knowledge
              supertype:  #cognitive_process__cognitiveproces__process__proces__cognitive_operation__cognitiveoperation__act  the performance of some composite cognitive activity; an operation that affects mental contents; "the process of thinking"; "the act of remembering"
                 supertype:  pm#process__proces  situation commonly considered as making a change during some period of time
                    supertype:  pm#situation  something that "occurs" in a real/imaginary region of time and space
                       supertype:  pm#thing__something___T__t___3D_or_4D_thing_or_anything_else  any category (type or individual) is instance of this type; any type is also a subtype of this type
                    supertype:  pm#process_or_process_description
                       supertype:  pm#processing_thing
                          supertype:  pm#thing_playing_some_role  category to classify things according to roles/viewpoints; classification under this category is application-dependant
                             supertype:  pm#thing__something___T__t___3D_or_4D_thing_or_anything_else  any category (type or individual) is instance of this type; any type is also a subtype of this type
                 supertype:  sumo#process__proces__physicalsituation  intuitively, the class of things that happen and have temporal parts or stages; examples include extended events like a football match or a race, actions like pursuing and reading, and biological processes; sumo#process is not identical to pm#situation because an instance of pm#situation is not necessarily an instance of sumo#physical
                    supertype:  pm#situation  something that "occurs" in a real/imaginary region of time and space
                    supertype:  pm#process_or_process_description
                    supertype:  sumo#physical__physical_thing  an entity that has a location in space-time; locations are themselves understood to have a location in space-time; click here for more details on the identical category sowa#physical_thing
                       supertype:  pm#thing__something___T__t___3D_or_4D_thing_or_anything_else  any category (type or individual) is instance of this type; any type is also a subtype of this type
