Usage Advice

Use when

• Use for the 80% case of an image depicting an entity — the flat shortcut subproperty of gmeow:isAbout; non-functional, an image may depict many entities.

Avoid when

• Avoid the flat form when context, audience, period, confidence, regions, or evidence of the depiction must be recorded — promote to a gmeow:DepictionUsage relator (the images extension), the reified half of the pair.

How to use

• Point the gmeow:MediaObject at each depicted gmeow:Entity via gmeow:depicts; read the inverse with gmeow:depictedIn, and promote to gmeow:DepictionUsage when the depiction needs first-class metadata.
