The characteristics of the samples themselves are of little interest, except perhaps to the manager of a sampling campaign. A Sample is intended to sample some FatureOfInterest, so there is an expectation of at least one isSampleOf property. However, in some cases the identity, and even the exact type, of the sampled feature may not be known when observations are made using the sampling features.</rdfs:comment> <rdfs:comment xml:lang="en">Feature which is intended to be representative of a FeatureOfInterest on which Observations may be made.</rdfs:comment> <metadata:prefixIRI>sosa:Sample</metadata:prefixIRI> <skos:note xml:lang="en">A transient sample, such as a ships-track or flight-line, might be identified and described, but is unlikely to be revisited exactly.</skos:note> <rdfs:isDefinedBy rdf:resource="http://www.w3.org/ns/sosa/"/> <rdfs:label xml:lang="en">Sample</rdfs:label> <skos:example xml:lang="en">A 'station' is essentially an identifiable locality where a sensor system or Procedure may be deployed and an observation made.
