Re: [sdw] SOSA: SampleCollection (#1417)

`SampleCollection` and `ObservationCollection` can share the same superclass, but the ObservationCharacteristics or SamplingCharacteristics that describe the nature of the collection will be quite different.

Further question is if we keep the approach from OMS that allows for 2 different types of collections:

- Homogeneous: all `Observations` contained are of a similar nature; if a property (NOT just `ObservableProperty`, in this meaning, this could also be the `Procedure`, `Observer`, `Host`...) is provided, this property applies to all `Observations` contained in the `Collection`
- Summarizing: a wider grab-bag type of collection; if a property is provided, there is an `Observation` in the `Collection` with this property

A further question is if we keep the structure of 2 classes (ObservationCollection and ObservationCharacteristics), or if we lump this into one class
