Usage Advice

Use when

• Use for the flat 80% case of naming a translator; typically attaches at the gmeow:Expression tier, since a translation is a distinct Expression of the Work.

Avoid when

• Avoid when the translation's period, degree, confidence, or source-text must be first-class (promote to a gmeow:Contribution with gmeow:roleTranslator), and avoid attaching it to the language-neutral Work.

How to use

• Assert from the translated Expression to the agent; promote to a gmeow:Contribution carrying gmeow:roleTranslator when metadata is needed.
