The named transliteration/romanization system that produced an appellation's gmeow:romanization (Hepburn vs Kunrei for Japanese; Pinyin vs Wade-Giles for Mandarin). Records HOW the romanization was derived. Non-functional. Domain gmeow:Appellation retrofits the names module; the scheme individuals are catalogued as FnO functions in the projection layer.

Structure

Property shape: object property; gmeow:Appellation -> gmeow:TransliterationScheme

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:transliterationScheme from gmeow:Appellation to gmeow:TransliterationScheme when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

Common Companion Terms

gmeow:Appellation, gmeow:TransliterationScheme

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to record which transliteration/romanization system produced an appellation's gmeow:romanization, so competing systems (Hepburn vs Kunrei, Pinyin vs Wade-Giles) are distinguished rather than silently merged.

Avoid when

• Avoid using it to carry the romanized string itself (that is gmeow:romanization) and avoid forcing one scheme — the same name may carry romanizations from several systems, so it stays non-functional.

How to use

• On a gmeow:Appellation, pair gmeow:romanization with gmeow:transliterationScheme naming the gmeow:TransliterationScheme individual; the projection layer resolves the named scheme to its FnO transform when reconstructing or validating the romanization.
