capture time

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

The date and time when the image or media was captured. Non-functional: competing capture-time claims from different sources or EXIF vs. metadata may coexist with confidence.

Structure

Property shape: datatype property; gmeow:MediaObject -> xsd:dateTime

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:captureTime from gmeow:MediaObject to xsd:dateTime when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

Usage Advice

Use when

Use for when an image or media was captured — the shutter/recording instant; non-functional, so competing EXIF-vs-metadata claims coexist with confidence.

Avoid when

Avoid conflating it with gmeow:datePublished (when the media was published) and avoid collapsing competing source times — keep it non-functional and index disputes with gmeow:accordingTo.

How to use

Carry the capture instant on gmeow:captureTime as xsd:dateTime; pair with gmeow:captureDevice and carry conflicting claims as standpoint-indexed statements rather than choosing one.

Examples

ex:photo gmeow:captureTime "2019-07-04T18:23:00Z"^^xsd:dateTime.
