A non-geographic location reachable online — a video-conference room, chat space, metaverse room, website, or social media page. The specific kind is given by gmeow:virtualLocationType (a value), not a subclass. Has network addresses (gmeow:hasNetworkAddress) and an access URL (gmeow:accessUrl) rather than geographic coordinates.

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use for a non-geographic locus reachable online — a conference room, chat space, website, or social-media page — typed by gmeow:virtualLocationType.

Avoid when

• Avoid for a physical room hosting a call (that is a Place) and avoid for the bytes' resting place (StorageLocation); a virtual location is the reachable venue, not its server.

How to use

• Type as VirtualLocation, set gmeow:virtualLocationType, give gmeow:accessUrl for the flat case and promote to gmeow:hasNetworkAddress / NetworkAddress when frame and provenance matter.

Examples

• ex:standup a gmeow:VirtualLocation; gmeow:virtualLocationType gmeow:virtualLocationTypeVideoConference; gmeow:accessUrl "https://meet.example/standup"^^xsd:anyURI.
