matrix shape

The shape descriptor of a CoordinateMatrix (e.g. '4×1' for a colourspace tuple, '256×1' for a spectral vector, '640×480×3' for a thermal image). Enables the solver layer to parse matrixValue correctly without inferring shape from the literal content (Principle 12).

Structure

Property shape: datatype property; gmeow:CoordinateMatrix -> xsd:string; functional

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:matrixShape from gmeow:CoordinateMatrix to xsd:string when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.
