• Defined by: gmeow:slices/organization
• Box roles: RBox role (What is this?)

The legal or regulatory jurisdiction of a specific identifier (e.g., company registration jurisdiction) — a country, state, province, or other gmeow:Location. Non-functional: different identifiers may carry different jurisdictions.

Structure

Property shape: object property; gmeow:Identifier -> gmeow:Location

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:jurisdiction from gmeow:Identifier to gmeow:Location when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

Common Companion Terms

gmeow:Identifier, gmeow:Location

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to record the legal or regulatory jurisdiction a gmeow:Identifier was issued under — the country, state, or province governing a company-registration code.

Avoid when

• Avoid carrying jurisdiction on the organization itself (it qualifies the specific identifier, since different codes have different jurisdictions) and avoid a flat place name — point at a structured gmeow:Location.

How to use

• Set gmeow:jurisdiction on the gmeow:Identifier node referencing a gmeow:Location, alongside gmeow:identifierScheme and gmeow:identifierValue.

Examples

• ex:acmeRegistration gmeow:jurisdiction ex:ontario.
