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

Allen MEETS: this event ends exactly when the related event begins (no gap, no overlap). NOT transitive. Inverse of gmeow:metBy. (= time:intervalMeets; TimeML IBEFORE / immediately-before; TEO meets.)

Structure

Property shape: object property; gmeow:Event -> gmeow:Event

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:meets from gmeow:Event to gmeow:Event when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

Usage Advice

Use when

Use when one event ends exactly when the next begins, with no gap and no overlap — a ceremony abutting its reception (the Allen MEETS link).

Avoid when

Avoid it when there is a gap (use gmeow:before) or an overlap (gmeow:overlaps); meets is NOT transitive, so do not expect a derived chain across three abutting events.

How to use

Assert gmeow:meets between the abutting gmeow:Event occurrences and read gmeow:metBy as its inverse; no transitive closure follows by design.

Examples

ex:ceremony gmeow:meets ex:reception.
