Re: [sdw] Should Platform be a subclass of System? (#1411)

@alexrobin IMO, if a drone (or other platform) has integrated sensors, at a semantic level, this should be disaggregated, with the integrated sensors exposed. Especially as you keep mentioning sensorS as plural, at the platform level you'd then have to lump these. If you need such an integrated concept within your applications, I believe you should derive this there.

On human observers, in the case where the observation is being made by a device held by the human, then the human could be the platform, the device the Sensor or Observer (no need to make the human a platform with integrated device). On your suggestion of modelling a survey campaign as a `Deployment`, this seems to break both the SOSA and OMS definitions of deployment.

It could make sense to allow for Platforms to nest additional Platforms, to my understanding not possible with the existing SOSA version.

I'm still missing the concrete examples on why this modification is of general use.
