• Box roles: RBox role (What is this?)

Relates a place to its spatial geometry (point, line, or polygon). Flat shortcut for the common case; the full relator form is a CoordinateObservation linking the place to a Geometry result via gmeow:geometryResult, carrying provenance, reference frame, confidence, and standpoint (Principle 3). Non-simple: derived via property chain from the reified observation path.

Structure

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

Practical Pattern

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

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use as the flat shortcut to attach a place's geometry (point, line, polygon) for the common, single-survey case.

Avoid when

• Avoid when surveys must coexist or provenance/frame matter — promote to gmeow:CoordinateObservation with gmeow:geometryResult; precision-bearing (coarsenGuarded), so guard it before public projection.

How to use

• Use flat gmeow:hasGeometry for one trusted shape; otherwise reify via gmeow:hasCoordinateObservation → gmeow:geometryResult, and coarsen via gmeow:coarsenTo for sensitive extents.
