The interpersonal relationship that scopes a name-usage (e.g. the aunt-niece tie within which 'Aunt Genny' is used) — reuses the contacts relator. A sharper alternative to gmeow:usageAudience when the scope is exactly one standing relationship.

Structure

Property shape: object property; gmeow:NameUsage -> gmeow:InterpersonalRelationship; functional

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:usageRelationshipScope from gmeow:NameUsage to gmeow:InterpersonalRelationship when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

Common Companion Terms

gmeow:NameUsage, gmeow:InterpersonalRelationship

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use when a name-usage's scope is exactly one standing interpersonal relationship — the aunt-niece tie within which 'Aunt Genny' is used — reusing the contacts relator rather than naming a broader audience.

Avoid when

• Avoid for a broad or open audience (use gmeow:usageAudience there) and avoid minting a fresh relationship just to scope a usage — reference the existing gmeow:InterpersonalRelationship.

How to use

• Set gmeow:usageRelationshipScope to the relevant gmeow:InterpersonalRelationship once per NameUsage (functional); when the scope is wider than one tie, fall back to gmeow:usageAudience.

• ex:usageFamily gmeow:usageRelationshipScope ex:auntNieceTie.
