Change "NOAA" in def:identifier, def:classifier urn's to "IOOS"

[GoogleCodeExporter]

We use identifier and classifier urn's as "definitions" in DescribeSensor, and 
a bit in GetObservation. Some are defined directly by OGC, eg:
urn:ogc:def:identifier:OGC:shortName
But most are made up by us (IOOS) and, at the February workshop we vetted the 
ones we were going to use, eg:
urn:ioos:def:identifier:NOAA:stationID
urn:ioos:def:classifier:NOAA:sector
urn:ioos:def:classifier:NOAA:platformType

Does anyone know why is says "NOAA" in there? Why not "IOOS"? That'd follow the 
naming pattern used in the ogc urn. Having NOAA seems out of place and kind of 
arbitrary.

I propose we change all such urn's to use IOOS, as in:
urn:ioos:def:identifier:IOOS:stationID
urn:ioos:def:classifier:IOOS:sector
urn:ioos:def:classifier:IOOS:platformType

This has very little impact on anything, but since we're setting many 
conventions comprehensively at this time, why not get this right as well?

Agreed, consistency is good.

This issue has become moot, b/c we've agreed to abandon the use of asset 
definition urn in favor of a new MMI-hosted, URL-based, IOOS-managed 
vocabulary. This vocabulary will include terms for all the urn classifier and 
identifier definitions currently in use in the IOOS SOS responses, with 
exception only in cases where an OGC-managed, URL-based vocabulary term already 
exists. See this ioostech_dev thread for background discussions:

This is being implemented in the Milestone1.0 templates and will be documented 
on the wiki.
