Textile substances of concern ontology: Description back to ToC

This module does not classify every textile chemical as a substance of concern. It specialises the generic SoC presence-context model for textile products and attaches textile-specific information to the occurrence, not globally to the chemical identity.

Cross-reference for Textile substances of concern ontology classes, object properties and data properties back to ToC

This section provides details for each class and property defined by Textile substances of concern ontology.
