    CAUTION: Please do make sure that all definitions provided
    are in an Aristotelian form, that is if A is a subclass of
    B, then the definition should be formulated as follows:

    A is a B which does so and so, or has such and such feature

    The definition of Study and several others do not comply
    with this requirement.

    Please fix/

    Phillipe is right. Provide aristotelian definitions. As is,
    t this definition implies that study is_a Experiment ?

    Amending to conform with aristotelian rules for definitions.

    A study is a process consisting of an observational or
    perturbational experiment
    carried out to address a scientific question or to
    generate hypotheses
