Re: [sdw] How to integrate abundance data with sosa with additional living organism data (#1446)

Interesting use-case. 

First I would recommend taking advantage of some of the enhancements to SSN that were introduced in the [SSN Extensions](https://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-ssn-ext/#ultimate-feature-of-interest), in particular the distinction between Proximate and Ultimate feature-of-interest. This has been rolled into the [updated SSN/SOSA ontology](https://w3c.github.io/sdw-sosa-ssn/ssn/#SOSAhasUltimateFeatureOfInterest), which nearing completion. This will allow you to acknowledge the agricultural field as the ultimate FoI, while still being more precise about the details of the observation. 

(You will find that the [Latest editor's draft link at the top of the Recommendation](https://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-ssn/)  will lead you there.) 

Then I would suggest that the proximate FoI is something like 'abundance of taxon X' which is characterized through _two_ observations:
1. observedProperty = organism abundance
2. observedProperty = name of taxon X 

If Taxon X is specified in advance, then the second observation is not needed.
