description: The Experimental Measurements, Purposes, and Treatments ontologY (EMPTY)
  is a structured vocabulary designed to capture and standardize the scientific reasoning
  behind experimental measurements. It addresses a critical gap in existing metadata
  standards, which primarily focus on technical specifications rather than scientific
  intent. The ontology provides a common language to express why a measurement was
  taken and the conceptual conditions under which it should be interpreted. By focusing
  on experimental purposes and treatments, EMPTY is designed to significantly improve
  the findability, interoperability, and reusability of scientific data. This enables
  researchers to discover relevant datasets for meta-analyses and cross-disciplinary
  research based on shared scientific goals. (from https://github.com/OBOFoundry/OBOFoundry.github.io/issues/2753)
