Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to climb from a concrete edition/format up to the Expression it embodies — the Manifestation→Expression R-relation of the WEMI spine.

Avoid when

• Avoid skipping the Expression tier to point a Manifestation straight at a Work (go through gmeow:embodies → gmeow:realizes), and avoid it for a single copy (use gmeow:exemplifies).

How to use

• Assert from the Manifestation to its Expression; a collected/omnibus edition may embody several Expressions (non-functional). Read the inverse gmeow:embodiedIn for Expression-rooted traversal.
