Spatial Measurement

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

A measurement that assigns a spatial property — coordinates, geometry, pose, or spatial extent — to a feature of interest. The parent of CoordinateObservation and other spatial measurement specialisations. Realises the spatial side of Principle 3 (Observation ≡ Measurement ≡ Standpoint).

Structure

Subclass of: gmeow:Measurement

Practical Pattern

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

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use as the parent for any reified measurement assigning a spatial property — coordinates, geometry, pose, extent — realising Principle 3 for space.

Avoid when

• Avoid it directly when a coordinate/geometry assignment is meant (use the specialization gmeow:CoordinateObservation).

How to use

• Mint a SpatialMeasurement (or subkind), set gmeow:spatialMeasurementOf and gmeow:vantage, and carry the result via the observation-result spine.

Examples

• ex:m a gmeow:SpatialMeasurement; gmeow:spatialMeasurementOf ex:place; gmeow:vantage ex:surveyor.
