Site Type
- CURIE:
gmeow:SiteType - IRI: https://blackcatinformatics.ca/gmeow/SiteType
- Category: class
- Defined by:
gmeow:slices/organization - Box roles: TBox role (What is this?)
The purpose of an organization's site — headquarters, branch, registered office, etc. A value, not a subclass.
Structure
Subclass of: gufo:QualityValue
Practical Pattern
Use gmeow:SiteType as a specialized kind of gufo:QualityValue. Add statement metadata or a standpoint when the assertion needs provenance, confidence, or vantage.
Usage Advice
Use when
- Use as the value vocabulary for the site-purpose axis — the open set (headquarters, branch, registered, …) referenced through
gmeow:siteType.
Avoid when
- Avoid subclassing
gmeow:Locationby site purpose (purposes are values, not classes) and avoid reusing an ill-fitting seed; mint a freshgmeow:SiteTypeindividual when the purpose is missing.
How to use
- Reference a seeded
gmeow:SiteTypeindividual from a site viagmeow:siteType, or mint a new individual carrying rdfs:label and skos:definition when the open set lacks the purpose.
Examples
- ex:siteTypeWarehouse a
gmeow:SiteType; rdfs:label "warehouse"@en.
