Should we be using platform and deployment instead of Vessel? #43

Right now a field study has a vessel and the vessel is used by the field study.

But what if it's not a vessel but something else? Should we be representing platforms and deployments? A Vessel is a subclass of a Platform. And a Platform is deployed during a time period with certain conditions. A vessel can be deployed multiple times in one field study, and deployed in other field studies with different conditions.

+1 for Vessel being a subclass of Platform.

note - this is a class hierarchy we have seen before with the BCO-DMO Ontology and MMI Platform Ontology
