I see your point here. Are you arguing for a general generated / 
isGeneratedBy relation for all the observation, actuation, and sampling 
cases? Personally, I strongly favor relations that are as specific as 
possible especially for SOSA (as it does not have anything formal to say 
about these relations). A typical anti-pattern would, for instance, be a 
general 'has' relations. Clearly this is all not back and white. Maybe 
we can come up with a consistent naming schema and I think this is 
exactly what Armin proposed by madeObservation, madeBySensor, and so on. 
I agree that we would have to keep it similar for the Sampling part as 
well (if there would be such a need).

Cheers,
Jano
