Like this: https://github.com/w3c/sdw/blob/kjano-patch-1/ssn/rdf/sosa.ttl ?

[Note: Fixes the issue that Sample wasn't included in the 
(schema.org-like) domains and ranges for the result relations. See 
email: 
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-sdw-wg/2017Feb/0266.html . 
SamplingActivity and so forth remain to be discussed, see: 
https://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/wiki/Sampling]

The reason why I am not creating a pull request for the change is due to 
the fact that the first half is trivial, while the second (changing the 
definition) requires the introduction of SamplingActivity (which we have 
not yet voted on).
