Relates a named period to a larger named period that contains it (e.g. Holocene ⊂ Quaternary ⊂ Cenozoic). Transitive.
Structure
Property shape: object property; gmeow:NamedPeriod -> gmeow:NamedPeriod

Usage Advice
Use when
- Use to nest a
gmeow:NamedPeriodinside a larger one — epoch within period within era — building the transitive containment ladder that generic consumers read throughgmeow:partOf.
Avoid when
- Avoid for relating intervals or instants (those use Allen relations) and for whole-to-part direction (use
gmeow:periodContainsPeriod, its inverse).
How to use
- Assert from the smaller period to the larger; transitivity builds the full nesting and the rdfs:subPropertyOf
gmeow:partOfbridge lets domain-neutral consumers query period containment without knowing the temporal vocabulary.
