Re: SDW plenary agenda item - Namespace for SOSA and SSN ontology

We do have the same problem with two namespaces if we only *reuse* a term in SSN from SOSA. Even with two namespaces, you would not be able to get the further restrictions on sosa:Platform defined in SSN unless you go to the location (URI) of the SSN ontology.

    Same concern here and to a certain degree the answer I got was that you 
    cannot (which I think is problematic).
