SOS datasets should link to DescribeSensor URLs #362

Right now if you navigate to an SOS dataset such as this GCOOS dataset, you're only able to reference the service (i.e. SOS GetCaps). This is just personal opinion here, but I've always found it rather onerous to have to manually type out DescribeSensor requests based upon the output of GetCapabilities. Ideally, we should have links so that users don't have to do that. Since we're accessing the DescribeSensor output to get information about the SOS sensors/stations/networks anyway, we ought to link to the DescribeSensor URL.

+1
Same goes for every variable uri listing (eg, http://mmisw.org/ont/cf/parameter/direction_of_sea_water_velocity); they should be links rather than just text, so users can easily click and get more information on the variable, from MMI.

+1, add it to the list so we can talk about it at the next release planning session. Actually, you already have added it. Start thinking about ways you might parse and visualize SensorML documents to, for example, address @emiliom comment above.
