stream sample

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

Links a stream to an individual observation, location state, or other entity composing it. Non-functional: a stream typically has many samples, and multiple sampling strategies may coexist for the same stream (Principle 9). Ordering is implicit via sample timestamps, not asserted list structure (Principle 12).

Structure

Property shape: object property; gmeow:Stream -> gmeow:Entity

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:streamSample from gmeow:Stream to gmeow:Entity when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

Common Companion Terms

gmeow:Stream, gmeow:Entity

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to attach each individual sample — an observation, location state, or reading — to the stream it composes; a stream typically carries many.

Avoid when

• Avoid encoding sample order as an RDF list or next-pointer chain; order is implicit via each sample's own timestamp (Principle 12). Avoid for the tracked subject (gmeow:streamOf) or the producing sensor (gmeow:streamSensor).

How to use

• Link each sample with gmeow:streamSample and give each its own timestamp; the solver layer interpolates a continuous trajectory from the timestamped samples rather than reading an asserted sequence.

Examples

• ex:roverTrack gmeow:streamSample ex:fix1, ex:fix2.
