event location

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

A location at which an event occurred — a geographic gmeow:Place, a gmeow:VirtualLocation, or any other gmeow:Location (the full superset). Non-functional: an event may span several locations, and competing standpoint-indexed locations coexist.

Structure

Property shape: object property; gmeow:Event -> gmeow:Location

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:eventLocation from gmeow:Event to gmeow:Location when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to place an event at a location — geographic, virtual, or otherwise — the general superset property that movement endpoints (gmeow:eventFromLocation / eventToLocation) specialize so plain-location consumers still see them.

Avoid when

• Avoid it for the origin/destination of a move when the direction matters (use the from/to specializations), and avoid collapsing competing source locations — keep it non-functional so standpoint-indexed places coexist.

How to use

• Point the gmeow:Event at one or more gmeow:Location individuals; a containing location is inferred by the gmeow:eventLocation ∘ gmeow:containedInLocation property chain, so assert only the most specific place.

Examples

• ex:wedding gmeow:eventLocation ex:church.
