Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to record the year copyright was asserted (schema:copyrightYear) on a gmeow:Copyright relator.

Avoid when

• Avoid using it for a validity window (that is gmeow:validFrom / gmeow:validUntil) and avoid asserting xsd:gYear in the TBox; it is typed rdfs:Literal here, with the gYear value carried in data.

How to use

• Set gmeow:copyrightYear once per Copyright (functional) to a gYear-typed literal in data; pair it with gmeow:copyrightNotice for the human-readable © line.

Examples

• ex:reportCopyright gmeow:copyrightYear "2026"^^xsd:gYear.
