Local rules:

Abstract supertype:
Each SAMPLE_ACQUISITION must be instantiated as one of its subtypes. These subtypes are: fluid_sample_acquisition, rock_sample_acquisition
[I: activity] Different Related Instance
An instance of ACTIVITY cannot contain itself.
[I: activity] Different Related Instance
An instance of ACTIVITY cannot be contained by itself.
[I: activity] Instance Value Constraint
If REF_TRANSIENT_PERIOD is EVENT, then both START_TIME and END_TIME must either be blank or be identical.
[I: activity] Instance Value Constraint
If REF_TRANSIENT_PERIOD is either YEAR TO DATE, MONTH TO DATE or CUMULATIVE, then END_TIME must be instantiated.
[I: activity] Instance Value Constraint
If REF_TRANSIENT_PERIOD is ANNUAL, SEMIANNUAL, QUARTER, MONTHLY, DAILY, or HOURLY, then either both START_TIME and END_TIME are blank or both must be instantiated.
