A sensor network typically generates a set of results, over the same time interval, for the same
property(ies), over a suite of features-of-interest.
Imaging sensors are a special case of this, where the proximate features-of-interest
correspond with individual pixels in the result.

These patterns can be accommodated with the class `ObservationCollection` individuals of which may
hold one or more of the essential properties of an atomic observation, except for the result.

These patterns can be accommodated with the class `ObservationCollection`.
The value of the property(ies) of the collection that are present are shared by all member observations.
Of the essential properties of an observation, only the value of each actual
<a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-ssn/#SOSAhasResult">hasResult</a> is not potentially shared by all member
observations, though at least one of the other properties would be expected to vary between members in a typical
collection.

For example, an outer observation-collection might share the observed property, procedure, and sensor, and
contain inner observation-collections at different phenomenon-times, each of which contain a set of observations
