Usage Advice

Use when

• Use for a concrete published edition or release of a book — the rights-bearing, ISBN-carrying publication artifact at the gmeow:Manifestation tier.

Avoid when

• Avoid it for the abstract literary work the edition realises (use gmeow:LiteraryWork) and avoid conflating it with the in-universe narrative frame it sources (link by gmeow:sourceFor).

How to use

• Type the edition gmeow:BookRelease, carry its ISBN on gmeow:identifier and gmeow:mediaType / gmeow:extent; link the abstract work it manifests and the narrative frame it sources via gmeow:sourceFor.

Examples

• ex:firstEdition a gmeow:BookRelease; gmeow:identifier "978-0-13-468599-1"; gmeow:sourceFor ex:narrativeFrame.
