Usage Advice
Use when
- Use to declare which postal/administrative frame an address's coordinate values are read against — required because a value asserted without its frame is ill-formed (CONSTITUTION P11).
Avoid when
- Avoid asserting more than one frame per address (it is functional) and avoid using it for the resolved geographic place (that is
gmeow:addressPlace).
How to use
- Point the address at its frame individual (default
gmeow:referenceFramePostalAddress) so the component coordinate properties have a well-defined axis system to be interpreted along.
