proximity

• CURIE: gmeow:proximity

• Category: property
• Defined by: gmeow:slices/places

Links an entity to a proximity measurement describing its distance or dissimilarity to another entity. The measurement carries the scalar value (via observationResult → ScalarQuantity), the reference frame (via hasReferenceFrame), and the target entity (via proximityTo). Flat form for the common case; promote to full reified Measurement when vantage, confidence, temporal scope, or standpoint matter.

Structure

Property shape: object property; gmeow:Entity -> gmeow:ProximityMeasurement

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:proximity from gmeow:Entity to gmeow:ProximityMeasurement when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use as the flat link from an entity to a proximity measurement about its distance/dissimilarity to another.

Avoid when

• Avoid it when vantage, confidence, temporal scope, or standpoint matter — read the reified Measurement directly.

How to use

• Use flat gmeow:proximity for the common case; the measurement still carries gmeow:proximityTo, the frame, and the result scalar.

Examples

• ex:a gmeow:proximity ex:dist.
