    What this page is

    This is generated FPF reference text from the specification preface or supporting sections. It helps interpret FPF; it is not FPF Reference product documentation.

    Methodology

    Use it to understand how the specification wants to be read, then return to a route, pattern, or work packet for active work. Cite generated IDs only when the wording changes the task decision.

    Content

    • Context A: SOSA_SSN_2017 - sensing/observations - run SenseCell⟨observation@SOSA⟩: Tech “observation”; Plain “measurement act”.

    • Context B: ITIL4_2020 - services - (mixed) SenseCell⟨slo‑metric@ITIL⟩: Tech “service‑level metric”; Plain “service measure”; Gloss “quantity used to evaluate SLOs.”

    • Bridge: ⟨observation@SOSA⟩ ↔⟨provides‑value‑for, CL=2, loss: “organizational context not in SOSA”; fit: “metric results are measurement results.”⟩ ⟨slo‑metric@ITIL⟩

    • Concept‑Set hint: Not a same‑row case; this is a role‑in‑use relation (measurement feeds status evaluation).
