RE: Multiple values in one observation

How about 

:o1 rdf:type ssn:Observation .
:o1 ssn:observedBy :mySensor1 .
:o1 ssn:observedProperty [ a my:CompositeProperty
	my:member :magnitude ;
	my:member :depth . ] # or maybe an ordered list structure
:o1 ssn:featureOfInterest :earthquakePhenomenon .
:o1 ssn:observationResult :sensorOutput1 . # -> links to the observation values as an ordered list

Alejandro,

Sorry, I guess I was too quick, looks like you want only :o1. Haven't seen that being used. Also, I wonder what is the advantage (i.e. why are you trying to achieve that)? Reduced triple count? Other advantages? In my understanding a sensor observation is for a property of a feature. Is it so that in your domain a sensor observes two properties in a single measurement process (I consider an observation to be the result of the process of measurement)?

Cheers,
Markus
