Usage Advice

Use when

Use inside a gmeow:Contribution relator to name the single agent who contributed; one of the three required relator roles.

Avoid when

Avoid asserting it on a creative work directly (use the flat gmeow:hasContributor or a typed shortcut) and avoid more than one per Contribution — it is functional; co-contributors get one Contribution each.

How to use

Point the Contribution at exactly one gmeow:Agent; pair with gmeow:contributionTarget and gmeow:contributionRole to complete the relator.

Examples

ex:c1 gmeow:contributor ex:bernhard.
