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

Previously some people introduced the word “reuse” for what you describe as “hijacking”.

Reusing/Hijacking (e.g. SSN reusing/hijacking the Platform term that is introduced in the SOSA *without* an equivalence relation) implies for either solution, one or two namespaces that you will get to either the SOSA or the SSN RDF/OWL definition of a term, but you cannot decide/don’t know which one unless you explicitly use the ontology URI.

    To make things clear, I put "hijacking" between quotes and I didn't want 
    to convey any negative meaning. I believe that this is ok to hijack the 
    definition of a term as soon as this is done by the same group of people.
