Usage Advice

Use when

• Use for the generic, flat-first pointer from one entity to a related resource it points to — a message-thread reference or a bibliographic reference — when the kind, locus, or standpoint of the link need not be typed.

Avoid when

• Avoid it when the link is specifically a citation with an intent or pinpoint (use gmeow:cites, or promote to a gmeow:CitationAct) and avoid asserting both directions — state gmeow:references and read gmeow:isReferencedBy as its inverse.

How to use

• Assert one gmeow:references triple per pointed-to resource (non-functional); promote to the typed citation machinery (gmeow:cites / gmeow:CitationAct) when kind, locus, or standpoint matters.

Examples

• ex:reply gmeow:references ex:originalMessage.
