RE: proposed new text for SSN ISSUE-110

1.      Suggest the phrase ‘Unlike its predecessors’ (Section 1, para 2) be deleted – doesn’t add anything and overlooks some earlier work in this direction anyway;

2.      The Introduction focuses on the scope of the old SSN. Since the new SSN will include Sampling and Actuation (these are in SOSA anyway) the Introduction should be re-written to mention these. Probably also the ‘systems’ aspect should mention ‘Platform’ from SOSA.

I see this is now in the tracker as ISSUE-110.

We should mention that SWE also introduced Sampling and the relationship with Features.

Armin- as discussed in the London f2f call...

"""

In [SSN section 1. Introduction](http://w3c.github.io/sdw/ssn/#intro) OGCs Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) is cited. It would be worth clarifying that SWE evolving from way back in 2002 provides distinct provider- and consumer-focused standards; SensorML (dealing with sensors) and O&M (dealing with observations and data).

I think I'm correctly channeling Simon here.
