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

Yes, feature-of-interest is primarily a role. 

We also wanted a class for the set of things on which observations had been, or might be, made. You are quite correct that this could be more or less anything, so the sosa:FeatureOfInterest class is very very general - similar to GF_Feature or Feature from ISO 19109. We could possibly have just used `owl:Thing` or 'owl:NamedIndividual`, but we went with `sosa:FeatureOfInterest`. 

As @kjano implies there is no harm in giving this class a name, and it allows us to add additional axioms which assist in clarifying some of the intentions elsewhere in the ontology.
