Re: Updated SOSA core RE: SOSA core - procedures vs devices

The proposal we arrived to now looks good to me.

The only change, where I second Simon is, that we should rename Actuation to Actuating. That is then aligned to Sensing and also implies an Activity. The same applies to Observation which I would rename Observing. Although, I am not sure if we need the Observing class in the core if we have Sensing anyway.

I made some cosmetic changes and pushed them to github. I am going to make another series of changes that are a bit bigger and thus will leave them in https://github.com/w3c/sdw/blob/kjanowicz-ssn/ssn/rdf/sosa.ttl for now until we agree on them. Most of this is from our last discussion about procedures and platforms.

I’ve just pushed an update to the SOSA Core ontology

in particular https://github.com/w3c/sdw/blob/simon-ssn/ssn/rdf/sosa.ttl


This includes the hierarchy shown on the wiki page https://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/wiki/SOSA_Ontology


I’ve cleaned up the class names a bit, and added documentation on all elements.
