Question: link between #Sensor and #Property

Hi,

I am trying to use the SSN ontology to describe an example from our SmartProducts project and I have a question.

In one of the use cases we have an accelerometer sensor (http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=8563). As I understand, similarly to the VaisalaWM30 example, the class of sensors of the same model has to be described as a subclass of #SensingDevice, and their common attributes must be defined as property restrictions. Now, I want to define a class of accelerometer sensors. If we have #Acceleration as an instance of #Property, is there a way to define #Accelerometer as a #SensingDevice for which there is a link to #Acceleration? On http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/ssn/wiki/Modelling_of_Accuracy,_etc I can see there is a property #measures connecting #Sensor and #Property, but it is not in the SensorBasis.owl. Has this property been removed for some reason, or I am not using the correct version of SensorBasis.owl (I took the June version from http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xg-ssn/2010Jun/att-0024/SensorBasis_withSurvivalAndOperationalRange.owl )?

Best regards,
Andriy
