Temporal Measurement

A measured assignment of a date or age to an entity or sample, carrying the method, uncertainty, and determinacy. Now a subclass of gmeow:Measurement (and therefore gmeow:Observation), realising Principle 9: the measurement is a standpoint-indexed claim (vantage + observedFeature + observationResult), not ground truth.

Structure

Subclass of: gmeow:Measurement, gufo:Relator

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

Use when a date or age is a measured, method-bearing, uncertain claim by some vantage — a radiocarbon date, a dendro count, an ICS boundary age — rather than a self-evident timestamp.

Avoid for a simply-stated crisp date (use a gmeow:Instant with gmeow:instantValue) and for non-temporal measurements; this is a gufo:Relator reifying a dating claim, not the date value itself.
