Element gml:Observation
Namespace http://www.opengis.net/gml/3.2
Annotations
The content model is a straightforward extension of gml:AbstractFeatureType; it automatically has the gml:identifier, gml:description, gml:descriptionReference, gml:name, and gml:boundedBy properties. 
The gml:validTime element describes the time of the observation. Note that this may be a time instant or a time period.
The gml:using property contains or references a description of a sensor, instrument or procedure used for the observation.
The gml:target property contains or references the specimen, region or station which is the object of the observation. This property is particularly useful for remote observations, such as photographs, where a generic location property might apply to the location of the camera or the location of the field of view, and thus may be ambiguous.  
The gml:subject element is provided as a convenient synonym for gml:target. This is the term commonly used in phtotography.  
The gml:resultOf property indicates the result of the observation.  The value may be inline, or a reference to a value elsewhere.

Attributes
QName Type Fixed Default Use Annotation
gml:id ID required
The attribute gml:id supports provision of a handle for the XML element representing a GML Object. Its use is mandatory for all GML objects. It is of XML type ID, so is constrained to be unique in the XML document within which it occurs.
