[Obi-instrument-branch] future of the instrument branch

[Melanie Courtot]

Dear Instrumenters,

The instrument branch has been recently inactive due to lack of
editors. In order to keep progressing on this, a proposal has been
made for the Biomaterial branch to take on the Instrument branch. It
does make sense as one branch would then be responsible of all
MaterialEntities.

Of course, appropriate credit would be maintained - terms would retain
their metadata, and we wouldn't delete any Instrument related material
(wiki, file or else): this is just an organizational fix to keep the
branch alive.

Let me know if you have any comment or suggestion.

Thanks,
Melanie

That is fine with me. We have a pretty good definition of what a
device is, so in theory there should be very little "new modelling",
just adding classes describe according to what a device is. This also
means you can move device to the defined class bucket and assert
everything directly under material.
