• Category: class
• Defined by: gmeow:slices/places
• Box roles: TBox role (What is this?)

The reified, time-scoped fact that a place was contained in a larger place over an interval — for boundary changes, re-organisations, and disputed parallel parents. Reifies containedInPlace over time; the plain transitive property remains the flat shortcut.

Structure

Subclass of: gmeow:TimeScopedRelation

Practical Pattern

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to reify time-scoped place-in-place containment for boundary changes, re-organisations, or disputed parallel parents.

Avoid when

• Avoid it for the simple, current case (use flat gmeow:containedInPlace) and avoid deleting an expired containment — keep it with gmeow:displayable false (Principle 10).

How to use

• Mint ContainmentTenure, set gmeow:containmentChild / gmeow:containmentParent, and scope with gmeow:duringInterval.

Examples

• ex:ct a gmeow:ContainmentTenure; gmeow:containmentChild ex:cityX; gmeow:containmentParent ex:countyOld; gmeow:duringInterval ex:pre1974.
