Summary of change:  Change 8.2.3.2 multiplicity of procedure from ‘One or more’ to ‘one (mandatory)’

An Observation Offering is a logical grouping of an observation. The observation model (O&M) specifies that an observation has one and only one associated process. See clause 6.2 (07-022r1).

If an observation offering is an offering of a system that is composed of multiple subsystems (e.g. platforms containing sensors or an observing system containing platforms), then this relation should be capture in a SensorML or such.
