Relates a place to an alternative geocoding identifier expressed in a specific reference frame. Non-functional: a place may have multiple geocodes in different systems, and competing geocodes for the same system may coexist as standpoint-indexed claims (Principle 9).

Structure

Property shape: object property; gmeow:Place -> gmeow:Geocode

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:hasGeocode from gmeow:Place to gmeow:Geocode when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

Common Companion Terms

gmeow:Place, gmeow:Geocode

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to relate a place to an alternative geocoding identifier expressed in a specific frame; non-functional, so multiple systems and competing codes coexist.

Avoid when

• Avoid it for decimal lat/long (gmeow:hasCoordinates) and avoid forcing one system's code as canonical (Principle 9).

How to use

• Point gmeow:hasGeocode at a Geocode carrying gmeow:geocodeFrame and a value; a place may bear geohash, Plus Code, and what3words at once.

Examples

• ex:edinburgh gmeow:hasGeocode ex:plusLoc.
