croussey has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/sdw: == Sample modeling in sosa/ssn == we try to reuse the sosa ontology to design a contextual system about irrigation. We notice in the sosa documentation that the class Sample is defined as a subClass of FeatureOfInterest... http://w3c.github.io/sdw/ssn/#SOSASample not that in sosa ttl file Sample class is not defined as a subClass of FeatureOfInterest Class. I found the subClassOf modeling very strange because the link between a sample and a featureOfinterest is a kind of partOf link... The sample maybe a part of the feature of interest where the observation is made.. sample express that the feature of interest can not be taken as a whole to make an observation... It is really true about weather observation or soil observation When the featureOfInterest is small I could understand that a sample is one of the instance of the featureOfInterest but it is not the case all the time.. The property to describe that a sample is part of a feature is isSampleOf (with the inverse hasSample). The main point is if a sample may be linked to a featureOfInterest by a partOf relationship (isSampleOf) thus you should remove the subClassOf relationship between a FeatureOfInterest class and Sample class. Is it possible to remove this information from the sosa documentation?
