Identifiable conditions that features of interest are or may be in, and that can be observed or controlled by devices. An instance of coswot:StateOfInterest is specific to a feature of interest. It is inherent to and cannot exist without that feature of interest.

Per convention, the IRI of states of interest should consist of the IRI of their feature of interest, suffixed with a fragment identifier #{S} where {S} refers to the name of the state.

A state of interest is the state of (OP coswot:isStateOfInterestOf) exactly one feature of interest.

States of interest need not always be explicited. It depends on the use case. Typically, states of interest are useful in applications, where the association between a feature of interest and a state (i.e., the state of interest) needs to be identified and related to other states of interest.
