ObservingProcedure is subclass of Procedure and superclass of Sensor?
21:54:26 [ahaller2]
SimonCox: we called it Sensing, didn't we
21:54:26 [SimonCox]
Procedure is also superclass of ActuatingProcedure and SamplingProcedure
21:54:28 [SimonCox]
??
21:54:59 [KJanowic]
Simon: IMHO, the procedure is like to cookbook recipe. It is not a superclass of sensor.
21:54:59 [SimonCox]
Yes - Sensing/Actuating/Sampling better names
21:55:18 [ahaller2]
Then yes
21:55:27 [SimonCox]
Agree - is recipe, not device
21:55:31 [SimonCox]
Uses a device
21:55:38 [KJanowic]
It is a bridge to workflows
21:55:51 [SimonCox]
Agree
21:56:24 [KJanowic]
Kerry: sorry, yes I will
21:56:53 [KJanowic]
yes, so if the procedure is a sequence of actions (like in a receipt) and not a device, than we should change the description
21:57:06 [KJanowic]
Rob: There needs to be a method to identify a procedure as well as to describe it
21:57:31 [KJanowic]

...want to be as inclusive as we can e,g instruments and human sensors
22:00:18 [ahaller2]
SensingDevice is an Instrument
22:00:37 [ahaller2]
We need to be careful with the Sensor class, this is why we renamed it to Sensing, because Sensor sounds like a device
22:00:44 [kerry]
.... want to distinguish describing a procedure from [missed]
22:00:47 [roba]
works for me - needs to be front anb centre of description

If this is okay with everybody, I can do the change in SOSA (this is all just about the comment, there is no axiom anyway :-))
