"How to" bullet list draft and a new version of the example

Dear all,

Attached are a draft of possible "how to" issues which might be good to explain (ACTION-43 from the previous teleconference) and a new version of the accelerometer example aligned with the new version of the ontology.

Concerning the "how to" questions, there are still some issues not quite clear to me:
- What is Process supposed to be used for? Do we have an example of a sensor linked to a process?
- Some names may possibly appear confusing.
	- Property. Although it is clear what it means in the context of 	sensors, it just looks similar to rdfs:Property (and not always 	distinguishable in ontology editors). Also the word "property" is used 	in MeasurementProperty, OperatingProperty, and SurvivalProperty. Maybe 	Quality can be used instead?
	- Some property names are a bit confusing: e.g., 	measurementPropertyCondition, hasOperatingCondition, 	hasSurvivalCondition hint that their range is Condition. Maybe, these 	can be hasMeasurementProperty, hasOperatingProperty, 	hasSurvivalProperty?
- Minor comment: can there be mutual dependencies between MeasurementCapability, OperatingRange, and SurvivalRange? If yes, how can those be represented?
- observationResultTime and qualityOfObservation still have domains specified. Should those be defined as allValuesFrom restrictions at the class level?

Best,
Andriy
