Usage Advice

Use when

Use inside a gmeow:Contribution to name the single role the contributor played, drawn from the open gmeow:ContributionRole value vocabulary (author, translator, CRediT role, software role).

Avoid when

Avoid encoding the role as a Contribution subclass or as the property name (Principle 9) and avoid more than one role per Contribution — an agent in two roles gets two Contributions.

How to use

Point the Contribution at one gmeow:ContributionRole individual; extend the vocabulary with new role individuals rather than subclasses when a domain needs one.

Examples

ex:c1 gmeow:contributionRole gmeow:roleTranslator.
