General description

Name:	Observation
Submitted by:	EvaBlomqvist
Also Known As:
Intent:	The intent of this pattern is to represent observations of things, under a set of parameters. Common parameters may be the time and place of the observation, but may be any feature that is observed concerning the specific thing being observed.
Domains:	General, Science
Competency Questions:	What objects have been observed? What are the observations of this object? What are the parameters under which this object was observed? What objects were observed under this parameter?
Solution description:	...
Reusable OWL Building Block:	1 (550)
Consequences:	We are able to represent the parameters of observations made.
Scenarios:	The aquatic species 'Skipjack tuna' was observed in 2004 having the exploitation state 'fully exploited' in the climatic zone 'tropical' at the vertical distance 'pelagic'.
