https://schema.plantphenomics.org.au/Observer

The entity responsible for performing an Observation and delivering a value for an ObservedVariable. The Observer may be a Person, a Sensor or a SoftwareApplication. Note that SOSA maps sosa:Sensor to prov:Agent, but CDIF recommendation is that Agent should be an intentional role.
