use when

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

Term-level advisory metadata naming the modeling situation in which a class, property, individual, or slice-level construct should be used. A narrower, machine-addressable form of skos:scopeNote for the WHEN facet; it has no logical force and is consumed by describe, docs, validation, and projection guidance tooling.

Structure

Property shape: annotation property Sub-property of: skos:scopeNote

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:useWhen when the definition matches the source fact. Prefer a narrower GMEOW term when one exists, and keep projection concerns in the mapping layer.
