Entry: SamplingObservation - showing version 1
experimental
URI: http://codes.wmo.int/common/observation-type/METCE/2013/SamplingObservation
SamplingObservation (a subclass of OM_Observation) provides a general purpose observation type. It enforces the following additional constraints: 'featureOfInterest' shall refer to an entity of type SF_SpatialSamplingFeature (from ISO 19156), or subclass thereof; and 'procedure' shall refer to an entity of type Process (from METCE), or subclass thereof. SamplingObservation is intended for use where measurement of physical phenomena is not the goal of the procedure. For example, the procedure executed to define SIGMET reports results in the identification of areas of turbulence, icing or other meteorological phenomena.
