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:Location by site purpose (purposes are values, not classes) and avoid reusing an ill-fitting seed; mint a fresh gmeow:SiteType individual when the purpose is missing.

How to use

• Reference a seeded gmeow:SiteType individual from a site via gmeow: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.
