Usage Advice
Use when
- Use to name the single entity a stream tracks — the moving feature, device, or thing whose samples it collects.
Avoid when
- Avoid for the platform or sensor that produces the stream (those are
gmeow:streamPlatform/gmeow:streamSensor) and avoid assigning a stream to more than one subject — it is functional, exactly one entity per stream.
How to use
- Point the stream at its subject entity; read the inverse
gmeow:hasStreamfrom the entity. Keep the producing platform and sensor on their own properties so a device handed between platforms keeps one stream-of subject.
