Defined in https://saref.etsi.org/saref4inma/v1.1.2/ as:
A MaterialCategory describes a category of material in terms of its static properties. Examples are: a certain category of steel or plastic. Each MaterialCategory can have multiple related MaterialBatches, which represent the physical material. The essential properties of the material in all MaterialBatches are the same. However, each batch might use different MaterialBatches and/or different ProductionEquipment. Therefore, small deviations between batches might occur, while the essential properties of the material related to an MaterialCategory are similar.
