The working group will develop a recommendation for one or more vocabularies for global, cross-domain classification of material sample types. The vocabularies are intended to cover all types of samples being investigated in the sciences. But the scope will be limited to the top-level classification, the detailed description of the samples will be left to existing domain-specific vocabularies.
