@Entity
public class Characteristic
extends AbstractEntity
implements Entity, Identifiable

Characteristic: Characteristics are yes-no statements about things in the world. These can be used as part of an observation, as parameter of ObservableFeature ('measuredCharacteristic'). For example: 'What is allele of [Marker]', here the [Marker] is a characteristic. Also, Characteristics can be used as target of observation. Typical examples are 'Individual' or 'Panel'. But also 'Marker' can be an Target when asked the question 'QTL p-value for [phenotype]': here both target and feature are characteristic, for example 'leave count' (phenotype characteristic) and 'PVV4' (marker characteristic). .
