Projection Coverage

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to tag a contact point with one or more usage roles, so a projection can pick the right channel (e.g. the work email for a professional listing).

Avoid when

• Avoid forcing a single role (it is non-functional — a channel may be both personal and work, and competing classifications coexist) and avoid encoding the provider organization here (use gmeow:contactPointProvider).

How to use

• Point the contact point at one or more gmeow:ContactPointType individuals; the projection layer reads them to select or label channels per consumer.

Examples

• ex:lillithEmail gmeow:contactPointType gmeow:contactPointTypeWork.
