Yes, a chip is related to other objects, but it's not particularly
related to another chip, except by its context and relationship to other
objects (like the ExperimentDesigns it's in).  My argument is that
creating a class 'Array' in some ontology won't give you much more than
the annotations of the objects in the MAGE-ML.

cheers,
Michael
