Usage Advice

Use when

• Use for the abstract conceptual document — a report, spec, memo — at the gmeow:Work tier, independent of any file or rendering that carries it.

Avoid when

• Avoid it for a concrete file, edition, or web rendering of the document (that is a gmeow:Manifestation such as gmeow:WebPage or a media file), and avoid it for a published article (use gmeow:Article).

How to use

• Type the conceptual work gmeow:Document, give it gmeow:hasTitle / gmeow:identifier and the bibliographic dates; link each concrete carrier as a separate gmeow:Manifestation rather than overloading the Work with file-level metadata.

Examples

• ex:spec a gmeow:Document; gmeow:hasTitle ex:specTitle; gmeow:abstract "A technical specification.".
