# Worked example: a recurring meeting with invitations. A gmeow:EventSchedule
# repeats a TEMPLATE event by a gmeow:RecurrenceRule (an RFC 5545 RRULE string),
# all anchored in an explicit gmeow:TimeZone (IANA id) — so "every Monday 09:00"
# is unambiguous across DST. Invitations are reified gmeow:EventInvitations
# carrying both the organiser-side gmeow:invitationStatus and the invitee's own
# gmeow:rsvpStatus. The event's kind is an open vocabulary: there is no seed
# "meeting" EventType, so one is minted (the custom-value idiom, P9).

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to record the ORGANIZER's view of an invitation's state — the iTIP PARTSTAT the calendar owner tracks for each invitee.

Avoid when

• Avoid using it for the invitee's own response (that is gmeow:rsvpStatus) — the two views may disagree and both coexist; never collapse them onto one property.

How to use

• Set a gmeow:InvitationStatus value for the organizer's record; carry the invitee's parallel claim on gmeow:rsvpStatus and standpoint-index either when contested.

Examples

• ex:standupInvite gmeow:invitationStatus gmeow:invitationStatusAccepted.
