Hi, I think the functions should not be sorted according to the instruments that perform them. This should be 'inferable' via a has_function relation. However the inheritance of this has_function relation and its values needs to be discussed. Of cause we will run into problems as long as we have is_a and part_of mixed Hierarchies, e.g. currently we have sample_fluid is_a fluidic_subsystem is_a instrument, which is wrong... and would clearly prevent any function inheritance.
