It is prompted by the release of OGC’s updated Observations, Measurements, and Samples (OMS) Standard (2023) https://www.ogc.org/standards/om/, as well as alignment with OGC API – Connected Systems https://www.ogc.org/standards/ogc-api-connected-systems/ and OGC SensorThings API https://www.ogc.org/standards/sensorthings/.

> - Consolidation of core terms in a single namespace; cleaner modularization of the ontology
