contained in place

• CURIE: gmeow:containedInPlace
• IRI: https://blackcatinformatics.ca/gmeow/containedInPlace
• Category: property
• Defined by: gmeow:slices/places
• Box roles: RBox role (What is this?)

Relates a place to a larger place that geographically contains it; transitive. Chains the nested granularity (room ⊂ building ⊂ city ⊂ region ⊂ country), each level a first-class place. Non-functional: contested sovereignty claims (e.g. Crimea-class) coexist as standpoint-indexed statements (gmeow:accordingTo), never collapsing to a single winner (Principle 9).

Structure

Property shape: object property; gmeow:Place -> gmeow:Place Sub-property of: gmeow:containedInLocation, gmeow:partOf

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:containedInPlace from gmeow:Place to gmeow:Place when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to chain geographic place-in-place nesting (room ⊂ building ⊂ city ⊂ region ⊂ country); transitive, a specialization of the universal gmeow:partOf spine.

Avoid when

• Avoid for non-geographic mereology (use gmeow:containedInLocation or gmeow:partOf) and avoid forcing a single parent — contested sovereignty coexists as gmeow:accordingTo-indexed claims (Principle 9).

How to use

• Assert gmeow:containedInPlace to the immediate enclosing Place and let transitivity build the ladder; for contestation or boundary changes over time, promote to gmeow:ContainmentTenure or annotate the base triple with gmeow:accordingTo.

Examples

• ex:room101 gmeow:containedInPlace ex:edinburgh.
