Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to state whether an agent is free, busy, tentative, or out-of-office over a bounded interval — the iCalendar VFREEBUSY case, reified as a time-scoped situation so the slot and status are queryable.

Avoid when

• Avoid for attendance at a specific event (use gmeow:Participation / gmeow:EventInvitation) and for a timeless 'usually busy' generalization; an availability holds only across its named interval.

How to use

• Inherit the time-scope from gmeow:TimeScopedRelation: name the gmeow:availabilityAgent, bound it with a gmeow:availabilitySlot interval, and set the gmeow:availabilityStatus value.

Examples

• ex:lillithBusy a gmeow:Availability; gmeow:availabilityAgent ex:lillith; gmeow:availabilitySlot ex:morningSlot; gmeow:availabilityStatus gmeow:availabilityStatusBusy.
