Hi Steve,,
To amplify Ben's point,
'feature of interest' = the feature which is of interest to the
particular data user
So in your example, I would expect the feature of interest _*not to be
a geographical region at all, but the mooring itself*_, which has a
property of location - agreed, it's quite an important property! - or
if instrumentation is deployed at the mooring, the feature of interest
is likely to be the ocean in the region of the mooring, which will be
realised in some concrete way depending of the characteristics of the
instrumentation and the requirements of the data user.
I agree. This is how O&M looks at it; how CSML looks at it; (and how I
and some other in IOOS look at it).
But we did not prevail in the design discussions.
So it goes ...
