position ordinal
- CURIE:
gmeow:positionOrdinal - IRI: https://blackcatinformatics.ca/gmeow/positionOrdinal
- Category: property
- Defined by:
gmeow:slices/narrative - Box roles: RBox role (What is this?)
The ordinal coordinate of this position within its frame — a chapter index, scene number, or fabula sequence number. Functional within one position; ordering semantics belong to the frame, and comparisons to the solver layer (Principle 12).
Structure
Property shape: datatype property; gmeow:NarrativePosition -> xsd:integer; functional
Practical Pattern
Use gmeow:positionOrdinal from gmeow:NarrativePosition to xsd:integer when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.
