Usage Advice
Use when
- Use for where digital bytes reside — a cloud folder, object-store bucket, filesystem path, content-addressed store, or physical disk — as the structured form of
gmeow:storedIn.
Avoid when
- Avoid for the geographic site of the device (link that via
gmeow:physicalPlaceto aPlace) and avoid for an online venue (VirtualLocation); a storage location is where bytes sit, not where people meet.
How to use

StorageLocation, set the functionalgmeow:storageMedium, givegmeow:storagePath/gmeow:storageService, and pointgmeow:physicalPlaceat the holdingPlacewhen the device is geographically located.
