relationship interval

• CURIE: gmeow:relationshipInterval
• IRI: https://blackcatinformatics.ca/gmeow/relationshipInterval
• Category: property
• Defined by: gmeow:slices/contacts
• Box roles: RBox role (What is this?)

The time interval over which an interpersonal relationship held. (A relator carries its period this way rather than via duringInterval, which is reserved for gufo:Situation-based time-scoped relations.)

Structure

Property shape: object property; gmeow:InterpersonalRelationship -> gmeow:TimeInterval

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:relationshipInterval from gmeow:InterpersonalRelationship to gmeow:TimeInterval when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

Common Companion Terms

gmeow:InterpersonalRelationship, gmeow:TimeInterval

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to scope an interpersonal-relationship relator in time — the span over which the tie held — as a first-class gmeow:TimeInterval.

Avoid when

• Avoid using gmeow:duringInterval here (that is reserved for gufo:Situation-based time-scoped relations) and avoid putting the interval on the flat shortcut edges (use gmeow:validFrom/validUntil on those statements).

How to use

• Point the relator at its gmeow:TimeInterval; this is the relator-native way to carry a period, distinct from the situation-based duringInterval idiom.

Examples

• ex:tie gmeow:relationshipInterval ex:collabInterval.
