Property shape: datatype property; gmeow:Selector -> rdfs:Literal

Common Companion Terms

gmeow:Selector

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to record a character offset or text-position range a gmeow:Selector pinpoints — the machine-precise locus into a digital cited work.

Avoid when

• Avoid it for human-facing page references (use gmeow:selectorPage) and avoid storing the quoted text here (that is gmeow:selectorTextQuote); position is the offset, not the content.

How to use

• Set gmeow:selectorTextPosition on a gmeow:Selector as a literal offset or range; pair it with gmeow:selectorTextQuote so the anchor survives re-pagination of the source.

Examples

• ex:span gmeow:selectorTextPosition "start=1024;end=1097".
