Contact Point Type

• CURIE: gmeow:ContactPointType
• IRI: https://blackcatinformatics.ca/gmeow/ContactPointType
• Category: class
• Defined by: gmeow:slices/contacts
• Box roles: TBox role (What is this?)

The usage role of a contact point — a VALUE vocabulary (individuals, never subclasses). Personal, work, personal-domain, support, billing, and emergency are examples; the set is open. Projects to schema:contactType and the vCard TYPE parameter.

Structure

Subclass of: gufo:QualityValue

Practical Pattern

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

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use as the value vocabulary for the contact-point-usage axis — the open set of roles (personal, work, support, …) a channel declares through gmeow:contactPointType.

Avoid when

• Avoid minting per-role subclasses (roles are individuals, P9) and avoid using it for the issuing organization (that is gmeow:contactPointProvider).

How to use

• Reference a seeded role individual from a contact point via gmeow:contactPointType, or mint a new individual when a fresh role appears; it projects to schema:contactType and the vCard TYPE parameter.
