A measurement of the maximum number of entities a location can hold. The location is the observedFeature; the result is a ScalarQuantity. The entity kind being counted is implicit from the location's placeType and the ScalarQuantity's hasUnit (P11). A contested capacity (e.g., fire code vs. venue claim) is modelled as multiple co-existing Capacity measurements, each standpoint-indexed and confidence-weighted, never collapsing to a single winner (P9). A superseded capacity (e.g., after renovation) is suppressed via displayable false, never deleted (P10).

Structure

Subclass of: gmeow:Measurement

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:Capacity as a specialized kind of gmeow:Measurement. Add statement metadata or a standpoint when the assertion needs provenance, confidence, or vantage.

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to reify the maximum number of entities a location can hold, as a Measurement; contested capacities coexist as standpoint-indexed instances.

Avoid when

• Avoid collapsing fire-code vs venue-claim capacities into one (Principle 9) and avoid deleting a post-renovation capacity — suppress with gmeow:displayable false (Principle 10).

How to use

• Mint Capacity, set gmeow:capacityOf, point gmeow:observationResult at a ScalarQuantity whose hasUnit fixes what is counted, and index competing claims with gmeow:accordingTo.

Examples

• ex:cap a gmeow:Capacity; gmeow:capacityOf ex:hall; gmeow:observationResult ex:scalar500.
