Hi Simon,
So my sense is that we need best practice documents regarding how
interpret in different ways an observation, and how the realization of
these observations could allow communities to interoperate. I don't
think what you said is very clear from the public specification. But
it is getting clear everyday :)
One more comment:
Isn't the sampling strategy part of the observing procedure ?

This can be described in the context of the procedure/platform/sensor,
or in the context of the foi, or simply reflected by the coverage-
domain
within a result expressed as a coverage. They are none of them
wrong. My
sense is that common practice in the fluid-earth sciences is the
latter
- mostly what is being shifted around is a
result-with-sampling-strategy-embedded-within (i.e. the grid
parameters). That's OK. IMHO the O&M model allows us to understand
this
better as it provides a language to describe it.
