latitude

CURIE: gmeow:latitude
IRI: https://blackcatinformatics.ca/gmeow/latitude
Category: property
Defined by: gmeow:slices/places
Box roles: RBox role (What is this?)

The latitude of a geographic point in decimal degrees.

Structure

Property shape: datatype property; gmeow:GeoCoordinates -> xsd:decimal

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:latitude from gmeow:GeoCoordinates to xsd:decimal when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

Usage Advice

Use when

Use for the latitude of a GeoCoordinates point in decimal degrees.

Avoid when

Avoid on anything but a GeoCoordinates value and avoid for celestial declination (use gmeow:declination).

How to use

Pair gmeow:latitude with gmeow:longitude on the same GeoCoordinates; precise values are coarsenGuarded upstream via gmeow:hasCoordinates.

Examples

ex:pt gmeow:latitude 55.95.
