Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to model a commercial offer to provide some item — a product, service, or engagement — by an agent; the reified offer behind the flat gmeow:makesOffer edge.

Avoid when

• Avoid using it for the item itself (that is the gmeow:itemOffered — a gmeow:ServiceOffering or product) and avoid a flat price here (that is finance-slice measurement or the presentational gmeow:priceRange).

How to use

• Mint a gmeow:Offering, name its provider with gmeow:offeringProvider and its item with gmeow:itemOffered, add gmeow:areaServed and gmeow:hasOpeningHours as needed; attach it to the provider with gmeow:makesOffer.

Examples

• ex:hostingOffer a gmeow:Offering; gmeow:offeringProvider ex:acme; gmeow:itemOffered ex:hostingService.
