We discussed if SOSA should be part of the normative or non-normative part of the SSN rec track document. We all thought, including you as I remember, that SOSA should be part of the normative part. For that, we need to make sure we have sufficient implementation evidence and therefore it may be the case that SOSA, if we fail to deliver on the implementation evidence, falls back into a non-normative part. But no one seemed to want that and people were raising their hands to make sure we deliver on that. That SOSA should be aligned with SSN everyone seemed to agree on, and that is clearly what we have outlined in the first working draft http://w3c.github.io/sdw/ssn/#modularisation.

And there are others who think that SOSA-core is an extract of SSN yet to be suitably aligned with SSN and  thereby  meeting (together with SSN) our goal of delivering a modularised SSN. And maybe others thinking other things too.
