• Category: property
• Defined by: gmeow:slices/places
• Box roles: RBox role (What is this?)

The kind(s) of a place (one or more gmeow:PlaceType individuals). Non-functional: multi-source classifications may differ (a place that is both 'city' and 'administrative area') and must coexist as evidence.

Structure

Property shape: object property; gmeow:Place -> gmeow:PlaceType

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:placeType from gmeow:Place to gmeow:PlaceType when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to classify a place by one or more gmeow:PlaceType values; non-functional, so multi-source classifications coexist as evidence.

Avoid when

• Avoid treating it as a single constitutive kind (it is descriptive, unlike the functional gmeow:storageMedium) and avoid encoding the kind as a Place subclass.

How to use

• Attach one or more gmeow:PlaceType individuals; competing source classifications coexist rather than collapse (Principle 9).

Examples

• ex:edinburgh gmeow:placeType gmeow:placeTypeCity, gmeow:placeTypeAdministrativeArea.
