Spatial Coordinates

• CURIE: gmeow:SpatialCoordinates
• IRI: https://blackcatinformatics.ca/gmeow/SpatialCoordinates
• Category: class
• Defined by: gmeow:slices/places
• Box roles: TBox role (What is this?)

A set of coordinate values representing a position in a specific coordinate reference frame.

Structure

Subclass of: gmeow:Entity, gufo:Object

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:SpatialCoordinates as a specialized kind of gmeow:Entity, gufo:Object. Add statement metadata or a standpoint when the assertion needs provenance, confidence, or vantage.

Common Companion Terms

gmeow:Entity

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use for a position expressed as coordinate values in a specific reference frame — the general frame-relative coordinate carrier.

Avoid when

• Avoid stating coordinates without gmeow:coordinateFrame (the frame gate warns) and avoid it for the simple lat/long point case (GeoCoordinates).

How to use

• Mint SpatialCoordinates, declare gmeow:coordinateFrame, and carry n-D values via gmeow:hasCoordinateMatrix when beyond a simple triple.

Examples

• ex:pos a gmeow:SpatialCoordinates; gmeow:coordinateFrame gmeow:referenceFrameWGS84.
