<p>As it can be observed in <ahref="#Figure_3">Figure 3</a>, the modelling of measurements in the SAREF4WATR ontology mostly relies on the measurement model proposed in SAREF.</p>
<p>SAREF allows to define the temporal extent of a measurement by defining the timestamp for it (using the <ahref="https://saref.etsi.org/core/hasTimestamp">saref:hasTimestamp</a> property). However, the SAREF4WATR extension also required to be able to define the temporal interval to which a measurement applies, apart from the temporal instant defined by the timestamp. Therefore, the <ahref="#s4watr:hasPhenomenonTime">s4watr:hasPhenomenonTime</a> property has been defined in this extension to define the time for which the measurement applies to a feature of interest. The range of this property time has been defined as a time:TemporalEntity, which allows defining temporal intervals or instants.</p>
<p>SAREF allows to define the temporal extent of a measurement by defining the timestamp for it (using the <ahref="https://saref.etsi.org/core/hasResultTime">saref:hasResultTime</a> property) and to define the temporal interval to which a measurement applies, apart from the temporal instant defined by the timestamp (using the <ahref="#saref:hasPhenomenonTime">saref:hasPhenomenonTime</a> property).</p>
<p>Besides, the extension requires to be able to represent those devices that measure a certain feature of interest (and those features of interest that are measured by a device) independently of having measures from which this relationship could be inferred. Because of this, in this extension we have created four new properties to relate <ahref="https://saref.etsi.org/core/Device">saref:Device</a> and <ahref="https://saref.etsi.org/core/FeatureOfInterest">saref:FeatureOfInterest</a>: <ahref="#s4watr:featureIsMeasuredByDevice">s4watr:featureIsMeasuredByDevice</a>, <ahref="#s4watr:featureIsControlledByDevice">s4watr:featureIsControlledByDevice</a>, <ahref="#s4watr:measuresFeature">s4watr:measuresFeature</a>, and <ahref="#s4watr:controlsFeature">s4watr:controlsFeature</a>.</p>
