om:AbstractObservationType

Base type for Observations.
Because of the well-known inconsistency in the implementation of XML Schema "restriction"
derivation,
this type is provided as a parent for all concrete observation types.
Concrete Observation types must extend this with a "result" of the appropriate type.
The following properties are inherited from EventType:

In the context of an Observation, the interpretation of some of the properties shall be refined as
follows:
time - the date/Time at which the procedure was executed
location - the location of the procedure (sensor, intrument, computational engine) at the time of the
observation event
For "in situ" procedures the value of the location will usually be the same as the location of the
featureOfInterest.
For "remote" procedures the location will normally be removed from the location of the
featureOfInterest
