Re: [sdw] Question about derived results (#1144)

@dr-shorthair I have a "similar but different" question that I thought I'd just append to this issue rather than creating a separate one, apologies if that's not the best way to log this query. However it's still related to derived results done in a lab 

What would be your suggestion in regards to modelling when it comes to derived results that give a result to an observable property of a different feature of interest?

My example would be:
- an observation consisting of a number of different samples that show abundance (observableProperty) of biological taxa (featureOfInterest) found at a site (platform) on a water body
- an analysis done at a later date that uses those sample results to calculate a score for water quality of the water body that the samples were taken at

Data consumers are interested in the raw observation counts relating to taxa, but also interested in the generated scores relating to the water bodies in which the samples were taken. Given that SOSA/SSN is primarily focused around raw observations - would it be an incorrect application of SOSA to also try and model the secondary calculations that change the focus of the feature of interest?
