dimension count

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

The number of dimensions spanned by a reference frame.

Structure

Property shape: datatype property; gmeow:ReferenceFrame -> xsd:nonNegativeInteger; functional

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:dimensionCount from gmeow:ReferenceFrame to xsd:nonNegativeInteger when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use for the number of dimensions a reference frame spans; functional.

Avoid when

• Avoid using it to assert infinite-dimensional structure (Hilbert/latent spaces declare 1 and carry shape in the matrix, Principle 12).

How to use

• Set one gmeow:dimensionCount; for high-D spaces leave actual dimensionality to gmeow:hasCoordinateMatrix shape.

Examples

• ex:siteGrid gmeow:dimensionCount "3"^^xsd:nonNegativeInteger.
