The second component of a semantic Universal Resource Identifier (semURI) module. This identifies a specific instance (within the context of a provenance chain) of a SemURI concept.
It is important to note that the same SemURI_instance_ID can be used for two distinct instances of the same concept, as long as the two instances are not present at the same location of a single provenance chain. This allows the SemURI_instance_ID to be short and still insures that the SemURI as a whole is unique. Uniqueness stems from the entire SemURI, which consists of several SemURI modules. That is, two SemURIs can be unique even if they share a common SemURI module, just as two words can be unique even if they share a common letter of series of letters.

A parameter that identifies the elution buffer used in HPLC. A mixture of buffers is often prepared in a mixing device to form a time-dependent elution gradient.
The HPLC_buffer parameter is a substance identifier, which points to an instance of "solution". A "solution" is_described_by one or more mixture_component_descriptor(s), each of which has two parts: the component_amount and a substance_identifier that specifies the identity of the component. This is a flexible way of describing solutions. For example, a solution can be described as a mixture of two other solutions (e.g., buffer A and buffer B), in which case the mixture_component_descriptor(s) each specify the identity and amount of each of these buffers. Alternatively, a solution can be described according to the concentrations of its solutes (molecules), each of which is specified by a mixture_component_descriptor. In this case, complete description of the solution requires that the solvent be specified using the property has_solvent, which points to an instance of the class "solvent".

In ProPreO, a parameter is a single, indivisible datum (i.e., parameters cannot be further subdivided.) Collections of parameters are called data_collections in ProPreO.
Note that in ProPreO, a parameter (such as a substance_identifier or biological_source_parameter) may refer to a specific object (such as an organism or a molecule), but the parameter and the object that it refers to are separate. In these cases, the parameter is piece of information that may be found, for example, in a data file and the object it points to is a real world object of class of objects.

The semantic Universal Resource Identifier (semURI) for a specific instance defined in ProPreO or other aligned ontology.
By semantic URI we mean an URI that lexically incorporates semantic description by succinctly representing a chronologically ordered list of concepts that are defined in ProPreO or other ontologies. These concepts can include both (physical and computational) tasks and the (physical and digital) objects that these tasks use and generate. Thus, each task or object class is assigned a SemURI_concept_ID, which is appended (along with a SemURI_instance_ID) to the SemURI of the the object's predecessor to generate a new SemURI that identifies the new task or object. Thus, the SemURI constitutes a very succinct representation of the entire provenance of an object, including all of the tasks and intermediate objects in its history.
