[Obi-function-branch] Fwd: [Obi-instrument-branch] flow cytometer functions

[frank g. <Fra...@nc...>]

Hi Ryan

As I remember the idea was to collect function of the flow cytometry
instruments to help in hierarchy placement. If you have already done this
and submitted these to the Function branch then this is excellent. However I
had a look at the function branch and at the minute it there seems to no
functions. Worryingly it has an Instrument_function class.

I know this branch is one of the more recent ones, although, a question for
the branch. is it going to be common practice to create a hierarchy based on
the object that inheres the function rather that what the function is?
