Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to bind the protected work to its gmeow:Copyright relator — the work-side player of the copyright.

Avoid when

• Avoid binding several works to one copyright (it is functional — each work has its own Copyright relator) and avoid using it as the work-to-copyright link, which is gmeow:hasCopyright.

How to use

• Set gmeow:copyrightWork once per Copyright (functional) to the gmeow:InformationObject it protects, mirroring the work's gmeow:hasCopyright.

Examples

• ex:reportCopyright gmeow:copyrightWork ex:report.
