Usage Advice

Use when

• Use for a structural part of a work — a chapter, section, scene, or episode whose identity is its position and type within a containing whole.

Avoid when

• Avoid it for the whole work itself (use the appropriate gmeow:Work / gmeow:Manifestation) and avoid encoding the segment kind as a subclass — the kind is a gmeow:segmentType value (Principle 9).

How to use

• Type the part gmeow:ContentSegment, set its kind with gmeow:segmentType and order with gmeow:segmentIndex, and attach it to its containing whole via gmeow:segmentOf (inverse gmeow:hasSegment).

Examples

• ex:chapter1 a gmeow:ContentSegment; gmeow:segmentType gmeow:segmentTypeChapter; gmeow:segmentIndex 1; gmeow:segmentOf ex:novel.
