coordinate observation of

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

The place whose coordinates or geometry are being observed — the observedFeature of a coordinate observation. Subproperty of gmeow:spatialMeasurementOf (itself a subproperty of gmeow:observedFeature) so generic consumers can query all observations without knowing the domain.

Structure

Property shape: object property; gmeow:CoordinateObservation -> gmeow:Place Sub-property of: gmeow:spatialMeasurementOf

Practical Pattern

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

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to name the place a coordinate observation observed; a subproperty of gmeow:spatialMeasurementOf (and thence gmeow:observedFeature).

Avoid when

• Avoid asserting it for non-place features (use the broader gmeow:spatialMeasurementOf).

How to use

• Set gmeow:coordinateObservationOf on the CoordinateObservation; generic observation queries reach it via the spine.
