ISSUE-115: Are SSN classes and properties required where they are equivalent to imported SOSA resources?

Are SSN classes and properties required where they are equivalent to imported SOSA resources?

State:
CLOSED
Product:
Semantic Sensor Network Ontology
Raised by:
Simon Cox
Opened on:
2016-12-18
Description:
The proposed modularization shows SSN importing SOSA.
In which case, is it necessary to have classes and properties in the SSN namespace which are strictly equivalent to resources already defined in SOSA?
For example, do we need ssn:Sensor as well as sosa:Sensor?

The SSN ontology will certainly introduce additional axioms relating to SOSA resources, to provide the complete semantics for SSN, but does this require equivalent resources to be defined in the SSN namespace?

Since a new namespace is already being introduced, strict backward compatibility is broken anyway, so could the SOSA classes can be adopted instead, and thus reduce the proliferation of resource declarations.
