Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to name the organization (or agent) that issues or scopes a contact point — the context that distinguishes a work channel from a personal one.

Avoid when

• Avoid using it for the contact point's usage role (that is gmeow:contactPointType) and avoid forcing a single provider (it is non-functional).

How to use

• Link the contact point to the providing gmeow:Agent; the range is left broad to admit organizations without a contacts→organization slice dependency.

Examples

• ex:lillithWorkEmail gmeow:contactPointProvider ex:acmeCorp.
