Universal traversable-link relation: relates any GMEOW thing to another thing it is directly connected to in a graph, network, or path. Intentionally broad; use specialized subproperties (spatiallyConnectsTo, hasSpouse, citesWork, dependsOn, …) when the kind of connection matters. NOT symmetric and NOT transitive at this level so that subproperties can be directed or undirected and reachability can be computed by the solver layer (Principle 12).

Structure

Property shape: object property

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:connectsTo when the definition matches the source fact. Prefer a narrower GMEOW term when one exists, and keep projection concerns in the mapping layer.

Linkages

Generated from the canonical mapping DSL. SSSOM files are the generated public interchange form for term equivalences.

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use when a generic consumer needs to ask whether two things are directly linked in a graph, network, or path, without committing to a specific kind of connection.

Avoid when

• Avoid when the kind of link matters — use a subproperty (spatiallyConnectsTo, hasSpouse, citesWork, dependsOn) — and avoid assuming symmetry, transitivity, or reachability, none of which hold at this level.

How to use

• Assert the most specific connectivity subproperty for the domain; generic consumers read gmeow:connectsTo by inheritance, and reachability or shortest-path queries are computed in the solver layer (P12).

Examples

• ex:nodeA gmeow:connectsTo ex:nodeB.
