• Defined by: gmeow:slices/places
• Box roles: TBox role (What is this?)

A locus where digital objects reside — a cloud-storage folder, an object-store bucket, a filesystem path, a content-addressed store, or a physical disk. Its medium is a value (gmeow:storageMedium); a physical device may sit at a geographic gmeow:physicalPlace.

Structure

Subclass of: gmeow:Location

Practical Pattern

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

Common Companion Terms

gmeow:Location

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:physicalPlace to a Place) and avoid for an online venue (VirtualLocation); a storage location is where bytes sit, not where people meet.

How to use

• Type as StorageLocation, set the functional gmeow:storageMedium, give gmeow:storagePath / gmeow:storageService, and point gmeow:physicalPlace at the holding Place when the device is geographically located.

Examples

• ex:bucket a gmeow:StorageLocation; gmeow:storageMedium gmeow:storageMediumObjectStore; gmeow:storagePath "s3://corpus/2026/".
