Re: [sdw] Sample modeling in sosa/ssn (#1122)

Hi Catherine,

I am not sure whether I understand your point. The fact that 
FeatureOfInterest can be modeled as (thematic) role does not suggest not 
to model it in an ontology (as a class). You may, just as a first 
example, be interested in every water body for which the water level has 
been measured since the last rain. You may also be interested in 
creating subclasses of FOI. In yet another context, you may want to tell 
apart the feature of interest from the ultimate feature of interest, and 
so on.

Best,
Jano
