Usage Advice

Use when

• Use when a concrete edition, issue, printing, or manifestation of a creative work rolls up to the single stable work it realizes — a 1623 folio to the play, a second edition to the title — and each edition needs its own ISBN, date, and rights.

Avoid when

• Avoid for non-work lineages (use gmeow:versionOf) and for plain replacement (use gmeow:supersedes); never merge an edition into its work with owl:sameAs, since editions stay first-class works with distinct identifiers and provenance.

How to use

• Point the edition work at exactly one parent work (the property is functional); keep each edition's own identifiers, dates, and rights local, and use gmeow:supersedes when one edition replaces another in the lineage.
