Usage Advice

Use when

Use to tag the kind(s) of an organization by referencing gmeow:OrganizationType value individuals — company, nonprofit, government body, association, collaboration.

Avoid when

Avoid expressing the kind as an rdfs:type subclass (it is a value, not a class — Principle 9) and avoid forcing one kind — multiple and competing classifications coexist as standpoint-indexed claims.

How to use

Attach one or more gmeow:organizationType triples referencing gmeow:OrganizationType individuals; carry competing classifications with gmeow:accordingTo on the statement.

Examples

ex:acme gmeow:organizationType gmeow:organizationTypeCompany.
