Hi,

Regarding modularisation, I think that it is good since if supports 
usability and facilitates ontology evolution.

But I would go for a few modules. Simons' distinction between sensors 
(providers) and observations (users) makes sense.

I'm not sure yet about also modularizing other things (such as 
deployment, as the SSN Tasks page/ACTION 140 says). I see the potential 
benefit but we are also inviting people to use only one (or several) of 
our modules and using their own modules for other parts of their data 
(e.g., using myDeploymentOntology instead of the SSNDeployment module), 
which would go a bit against the idea of standardization.

Kind regards,
