address place

• CURIE: gmeow:addressPlace
• IRI: https://blackcatinformatics.ca/gmeow/addressPlace
• Category: property
• Defined by: gmeow:slices/contacts
• Box roles: RBox role (What is this?)

The geographic place a postal address denotes (typically the premises/building) — the seam from the as-written address to the resolved place hierarchy, its coordinates/geometry, and its external identifiers.

Structure

Property shape: object property; gmeow:PostalAddress -> gmeow:Place

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:addressPlace from gmeow:PostalAddress to gmeow:Place when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

# Worked example: contact details are flat-first, reified on demand ( P4).
# A bare gmeow:email / gmeow:telephone on the agent covers the common case. When
# a contact point carries a TYPE (work vs personal), a PROVIDER, structured parts
# or a postal frame, it is promoted to a reified gmeow:ContactPoint reached via
# gmeow:hasContactPoint. A gmeow:PostalAddress is expressed in an explicit postal/
# administrative REFERENCE FRAME (P11): its street/locality/region components are
# coordinate values along that frame's axes — the as-written surface form, kept
# distinct from the resolved geographic Place (gmeow:addressPlace).

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to cross from the as-written surface form of an address to the resolved, identifier-bearing geographic place — the point at which coordinates, geometry, and external place IDs become available.

Avoid when

• Avoid using it to restate the surface components (those are the datatype properties) and avoid attaching geometry to the address itself; geometry lives on the resolved gmeow:Place.

How to use

• Link the address to its premises gmeow:Place, then walk gmeow:containedInPlace for the enclosing hierarchy; mark gmeow:coarsenTo on the address so a public projection resolves only to the enclosing locality.

Examples

• ex:home gmeow:addressPlace ex:premisesPlace.
