Usage Advice
Use when
- Use to classify a
gmeow:NamedPeriodby one or moregmeow:PeriodTypevalues — a period may legitimately be both a geologic epoch and a culturally named era.
Avoid when
- Avoid forcing a single classification in a merge — competing source classifications coexist (non-functional, P9) — and avoid using it to carry the period's bounds.
How to use
- Attach one or more seeded
gmeow:PeriodTypeindividuals; conflicting classifications from different vantages stay side by side rather than collapsing to one.
