Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to name the calendar reckoning a date is expressed in when a frame must record more than a bare scale — Gregorian, Julian, Hebrew, Islamic, and the rest are co-equal peers (P9).

Avoid when

• Avoid privileging Gregorian as a silent default and avoid using it where only a scale matters (Julian Date, TAI carry no calendar); mint individuals, never per-calendar subclasses.

How to use

• Reference a seeded calendar individual from a frame via gmeow:frameCalendarSystem; keep it optional, since some frames (e.g. atomic Julian Date) need a scale only.

Examples

• ex:myCalendar a gmeow:CalendarSystem; rdfs:label "Hebrew calendar"@en.
