# Worked example: parent-child is not one relation (Principle 9). Most schemas have
# a single "parent" field; GMEOW reifies the KIND of parentage, so a child's
# BIOLOGICAL and ADOPTIVE parents COEXIST rather than overwrite. A
# gmeow:BiologicalParentChild and a gmeow:AdoptiveParentChild (siblings of
# Foster/Step) each bind a gmeow:relationshipParent to a gmeow:relationshipChild.
# Flat gmeow:hasParent / gmeow:hasFather remain available as the simple view; the
# reified relations carry the distinction the flat edges can't.
