An example from the biomedical domain for Oxx split from:

·         The Sample Taking (S2) of 10 percent of the blood from a vial _split_ 
(Oxx) the resulting Sample (S13) _from_ the original, as the new Sample is 
still representative of the original Sample’s properties. Conversely, a Sample 
Taking (S2) of all the white blood cells from the same blood would _remove_ 
(O5) the resulting Sample, as the original Sample is no longer representative 
of its previous properties.

And noted from discussion, that the Sample Taking is also a Transformation of 
the Sample, as it is no longer a Sample and it is reinstantiated as an Amount 
of Matter (or other class). This is due to the scope note of S13, that it 
ceases to exist when its representative qualities become corrupted.
