Description

As an ontology developer, I would like to have an automated pipeline with which I can easily create test instances of my ontology classes that are used to reason over the ontology and serve as examples for users.

At the moment, my approach is to add test instances to the edit owl using mostly fake IRIs and annotating them with `IAO:'term status' IAO:'example to be eventually removed'`. Runnning ELK continously and sometimes HermiT while developing helps me to detect design and logical errors. It would be better however, if I would not have to add them manually, but instead just append a ROBOT TSV template from which a test component is build. Such test instances could not only be helpful for unit tests during the release build process and during development, but also to serve as example annotations.
