Usage Advice

Use when

• Use for a culturally or scientifically salient, named division of time that is referenced as an entity — a geologic epoch, dynasty, artistic period, or fiscal year — rather than an ad-hoc interval between two timestamps.

Avoid when

• Avoid for an anonymous bounded span (use gmeow:TimeInterval) and for a point (use gmeow:Instant); a NamedPeriod is a first-class, identifiable era, not a one-off measurement window.

How to use

• Classify it with one or more gmeow:periodType values, bound it with gmeow:periodStart/gmeow:periodEnd (or a gmeow:hasTemporalMeasurement that infers the start via the property chain), and nest it with gmeow:periodPartOf.
