A compound concept is composed of one or more constituent concepts. Non-functional: a compound may have several decomposition schemes that coexist (Principle 9).

Structure

Property shape: object property; gmeow:Concept -> gmeow:Concept

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:composedOf from gmeow:Concept to gmeow:Concept when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

Common Companion Terms

gmeow:Concept

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to model the internal structure of a compound concept — the concepts it is built from.

Avoid when

• Avoid using it for class-level mereological parts of physical objects (use gmeow:hasPart / domain-specific component relations) and avoid asserting a single privileged decomposition when several are valid.

How to use

• Point the compound concept at each constituent concept; treat each decomposition scheme as a separate set of claims when they coexist.

Examples

• ex:internalCombustionEngine gmeow:composedOf ex:piston, ex:cylinder.
