I think it would be a good idea to explore a more developed approach, to
capture instance-level scenarios such as some entity influencing an
environment at a distance through, e.g., pollutants running downstream.
This would be a good place to voice such ideas.

Bringing GAZ into this discussion would, of course, be very relevant. 
Additionally, through this point...

... ENVO can be linked quite nicely. Especially with regards to the feature
and process (which both could be associated with some granularity).
It would also be interesting to hear what needs and targets the geospatial
community have and how ENVO can/should develop to meet them.
