KR Meeting Jan 06 Summary

Difference between version 8 and version 7:

Line 7 was replaced by line 7
- __Observation__: An assertion that an entity (observable) was observed. The observable is the subject of the observation. An observation may be composed of other observations serving as traits that are required to define (observe) the subject entity. An observation may also contribute to defining the context for another observation.

Line 9 was replaced by line 9
- __Observable__: A particular entity that can be observed to have one or more characteristics, or traits.

Line 11 was replaced by line 11
- __Measurement__: An observation that assigns a value and dimension to the observable.

Line 15 was replaced by line 15
- __hasObservation__: To observe a observable your statement of what the subject is may require observing other subjects. This relationship is the way you connect the observation of those traits to the overall observation. The traits further define the overall observable.

Line 17 was replaced by line 17
- __hasSubject__: Relates the observable to the observation. States the overall subject of the observation.
+ * __hasSubject__: Relates the observable to the observation. States the overall subject of the observation.
Line 19 was replaced by line 19
- __hasContext__: States that one observation serves as the context for another observation. Defines a semantic relationship between two observables that is a fundamental aspect of the observations, but not of the observables themselves. For example, most measurements are accomplished in a spatio-temporal framework that might be valuable context.
