Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to link an appellation to the life event that conferred or changed it — a christening, name change, marriage (a married name), or adoption — joining the names module to the events spine.

Avoid when

• Avoid carrying the conferral as a free-text note (reference a gmeow:LifeEvent with its gmeow:eventType) and avoid using it for the name's validity period — carry that on the statement or a gmeow:NameUsage.

How to use

• Point gmeow:conferredByEvent at a gmeow:LifeEvent carrying the appropriate gmeow:eventType; non-functional, so multiple conferring events may coexist for a name's history.

Examples

• ex:marriedName gmeow:conferredByEvent ex:wedding.
