Re: [sdw] SOSA: what's the difference between Platform and Host? (#1424)

Thank you very much Kathi.

Yes, thanks. I am familiar with SOSA.

I understand that there might be an OMS:Host but why would this imply a 
need for a SOSA:Host class?

Intuitively, this makes sense to me (and differs from a SOSA:Host) also 
because it doesn't need changes to SOSA; such axiom could simply exist 
within OMS. I also understand that there will be an Observer class in 
OMS, but that can be handled by the very same style of subclass or 
equivalence axiom without touching the Sensor concept in SOSA.

Thanks a lot for your reply, I would happily contribute.
