Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to link an account to the single service or platform it is held with — the account-to-service edge that places a handle on its network, forge, or federated instance.

Avoid when

• Avoid for the holder of the account (use gmeow:holdsAccount) and for the service's homepage IRI (use gmeow:accountServiceHomepage); since it is functional, never assert two services for one account — model a moved account as a distinct OnlineAccount.

How to use

• Assert gmeow:accountService from the OnlineAccount to its gmeow:OnlineService; read the service's liveness from that service object rather than duplicating status on every account.
