• Category: property
• Defined by: gmeow:slices/places
• Box roles: RBox role (What is this?)

Relates a location to another location it is spatially or topologically traversable to — a road segment, a network link, a portal, or a transit stop connection. Symmetric: the link can be traversed in either direction. A specialization of the universal gmeow:connectsTo spine. Distinct from gmeow:adjacentTo (RCC-8 EC: touching but not necessarily traversable) and from gmeow:containedInLocation (mereological containment).

Structure

Property shape: object property; gmeow:Location -> gmeow:Location Sub-property of: gmeow:connectsTo

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:spatiallyConnectsTo from gmeow:Location to gmeow:Location when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

Common Companion Terms

gmeow:connectsTo, gmeow:Location

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use for locations that are traversable to one another — a road segment, network link, portal, or transit connection; symmetric, a specialization of gmeow:connectsTo.

Avoid when

• Avoid it for mere touching without traversability (gmeow:adjacentTo / RCC-8 EC) and for containment (gmeow:containedInLocation).

How to use

• Assert gmeow:spatiallyConnectsTo between Locations; it carries traversability, distinct from adjacency and containment.

Examples

• ex:stationA gmeow:spatiallyConnectsTo ex:stationB.
