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

A standpoint that supplies a subjective ordering for consuming segments of a work — publication order, internal chronology, author-recommended order, or fandom order. Never canonical ontology truth; claims are annotated gmeow:accordingTo a ReadingOrder.

Structure

Subclass of: gmeow:Standpoint

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:ReadingOrder as a specialized kind of gmeow:Standpoint. Add statement metadata or a standpoint when the assertion needs provenance, confidence, or vantage.

Common Companion Terms

gmeow:Standpoint

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to model a subjective ordering for consuming a work's segments — publication order, internal chronology, author-recommended or fandom order — that competing orderings may contradict without one being canonical.

Avoid when

• Avoid asserting any ordering as canonical ontology truth (a ReadingOrder is a gmeow:Standpoint, never a global fact) and avoid the bare gmeow:segmentIndex for it — index is structural position, reading order is perspectival.

How to use

• Mint the ordering as a gmeow:ReadingOrder standpoint and index each ordering claim with gmeow:accordingTo that standpoint, letting co-equal orderings coexist rather than picking a primary.

Examples

• ex:chronologicalOrder a gmeow:ReadingOrder. ex:claim gmeow:accordingTo ex:chronologicalOrder.
