GTS segment index

CURIE: gmeow:gtsSegmentIndex
IRI: https://blackcatinformatics.ca/gmeow/gtsSegmentIndex
Category: property
Defined by: gmeow:slices/gts
Box roles: ConfigBox role, RBox role (What is this?)

The zero-based position of a segment within its document's file order. The ordered list of segment heads — gmeow:gtsHeadId taken in gmeow:gtsSegmentIndex order — IS the document's composite identity (spec §3.1).

Structure

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

Practical Pattern

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

Usage Advice

Use when

Use to fix a segment's place in its document's append-only file order — the index that, taken over the segment heads, reconstructs the document's composite identity.

Avoid when

Avoid as a stable name or version commitment (use gmeow:gtsHeadId) and avoid leaving gaps or duplicates within a document; the indices are a dense zero-based sequence.

How to use

Assign each segment a non-negative integer index in append order; read gmeow:gtsHeadId in index order to recover the ordered head list that IS the document's identity.

Examples

ex:seg0 gmeow:gtsSegmentIndex 0. ex:seg1 gmeow:gtsSegmentIndex 1.
