Relates a location to another location it is adjacent to.


Allen AFTER: this event begins strictly after the related event ends; the transitive inverse of gmeow:before. (= time:intervalAfter; TimeML AFTER; TEO after.)


The statistical function applied to the entities in the aggregation region — count, sum, average, density, minimum, maximum, or centroid.


The media type of the attestation artifact's serialization (e.g. application/vnd.in-toto+json, application/vc+ld+json).


A GeoJSON serialization of a geometry. The range is rdfs:Literal (not geo:geoJSONLiteral) to stay within the OWL 2 DL datatype map; data may still tag the literal ^^geo:geoJSONLiteral, and the alignment to geo:asGeoJSON preserves GeoSPARQL semantics for spatial engines.


A Well-Known Text (WKT) serialization of a geometry. The range is rdfs:Literal (not geo:wktLiteral) to stay within the OWL 2 DL datatype map; data may still tag the literal ^^geo:wktLiteral, and the alignment to geo:asWKT preserves GeoSPARQL semantics for spatial engines.


The instant an agent observed or asserted the annotated claim (e.g. an email Date header or a vCard REV) — a witness that the fact held at that instant. Distinct from validity (validFrom/validUntil) and from a source's carrier time.


The accessibility facet being asserted. Functional per relator: one facet per AccessibilityAssertion.


Whether the assertion is a positive feature, a negative barrier, or a limited/partial status. Functional per relator: one polarity per AccessibilityAssertion.


The location or connection being assessed. Functional per relator: one subject per AccessibilityAssertion.


The entity whose data quality is being assessed — the feature of interest of the quality observation. Sub-property of gmeow:observedFeature so generic consumers can query 'all observations about Alice' without knowing whether the claim is a name, a coordinate, or a quality assessment.


The instant at which a point-like event or observation occurred.


The concrete carrier (in-toto JSON, VC, DSSE envelope, C2PA manifest, etc.) that embodies an attestation. Non-functional: an attestation may be carried by multiple equivalent artifacts under different formats.


The policy under which an attestation was issued — a value vocabulary individual naming the rules or framework the attester followed. Non-functional: competing policy interpretations coexist (Principle 9).


The type of attestation being made — a value vocabulary individual from gmeow:AttestationType. Non-functional: an attestation may carry multiple type tags (e.g. both SLSA provenance and DSSE envelope).


The observation or claim that an attestation vouches for, when the subject of the attestation is itself a claim rather than a bare entity. Non-functional: an attestation may vouch for several related claims simultaneously.


The entity that an attestation is about — the thing being vouched for. Non-functional: an attestation may concern multiple subjects (e.g. a key↔identity binding certifies both a key and an identity), and competing subject claims coexist (Principle 9).


The agent that issued an attestation — the vouching party. Functional within the relator: one attester per Attestation (co-authorship is modelled as multiple Attestations).


The credit line to display when reusing the asset (schema:creditText; cc:attributionName) — e.g. "Photo by Jane Doe / CC BY 4.0". The structured holder is gmeow:wasAttributedTo / gmeow:copyrightHolder.


The URL the attribution credit should link to when reusing the asset (cc:attributionURL).


The authentication method checked: dkim, spf, dmarc, arc, iprev, or auth.


The verdict of an authentication check: pass, fail, none, softfail, neutral, temperror, or permerror.


The authentication-serv-id (authserv-id) that performed the check.


Links a GMEOW entity to a record in an external authority, registry, database, gazetteer, or catalogue by IRI. It is a see-also authority pointer, not an OWL identity merge; assert the strength of the coreference separately with skos:exactMatch or skos:closeMatch. The range is intentionally open. Wikidata is the recommended hub because its cross-references reach many other authorities.


A blind-carbon-copy recipient address of a message (RFC 5322 Bcc).


An OPTIONAL external BCP-47 language tag used only when projecting GMEOW's internal private-use literals into vocabularies that require standard language-tag literals. Non-functional because a language may expose several valid BCP-47 tags across script, region, or variant contexts; broad registry alignments such as ISO 639-3 codes and Glottocodes remain gmeow:languageCode values.


The angle between an entity's forward direction and a reference direction (typically north), in degrees.


Allen BEFORE: this event ends strictly before the related event begins (a gap between them). Transitive. Inverse of gmeow:after. (= time:intervalBefore over the events' extents; TimeML TLINK relType BEFORE; TEO before.)


The sequential number of a ledger block.


A broader, more general tag. Transitive. Optional: folksonomy stays flat-first.


The location whose capacity is measured. Functional: a capacity measurement concerns exactly one location (constitutive of the measurement's identity).


A carbon-copy recipient address of a message (RFC 5322 Cc).


The epoch (Julian year, e.g. 2000.0) for which the coordinates are expressed. Required for proper-motion propagation; frame-relative per Principle 11.


The kind(s) of a celestial location (one or more gmeow:CelestialObjectType individuals). Non-functional: multi-source classifications may differ (e.g. a source classified as both 'star' and 'variable star') and must coexist as evidence.


How carefully the binding was verified (OpenPGP certification level): generic, persona, casual, or positive.


The agent identity a certification binds the key to.


The cryptographic key a certification vouches for.


The chain identifier of a blockchain network (e.g. CAIP-2 chainId, eip155:1).


Relates a citation to the source it points into.


The modality (unequivocal, probable, conceivable, refuted) assigned to a StandpointClaim. Semantically equivalent to observationResult for StandpointClaims, but not declared rdfs:subPropertyOf because StandpointModality (a gufo:QualityValue / abstract individual) is disjoint from gmeow:Entity (a gufo:Endurant) in the DL profile. When a StandpointClaim is flattened to an annotated statement, claimModality becomes standpointModality.


The MIME media type CLAIMED by a filename's extension (e.g. ".pdf" → "application/pdf"). A claim by the name, which may disagree with gmeow:detectedMediaType. Non-functional.


Disclosure control: marks a value/relator so that at projection time it is generalized to no finer than the named gmeow:GranularityLevel — a coarser ancestor is emitted instead of the precise value (e.g. an enclosing city rather than exact coordinates), never by deletion. The generalization sibling of gmeow:displayable false (withhold); together they are the single 'withhold or coarsen under a trigger' mechanism of CONSTITUTION P10. Domain-free, like gmeow:displayable. The coarse value is obtained by walking gmeow:generalizesVia (default gmeow:partOf); any geometry/geomask computation stays in the solver layer (P12). When both apply, displayable false (withhold) wins over coarsen.


Orders the granularity axis: relates a granularity level to a finer level it generalizes (country gmeow:coarserThan city). Transitive; the partial order that makes 'at or above a target level' well-defined for coarsening, and mirrors skos:broader between the levels.


Allen EQUALS: this event and the related event share the same temporal extent (co-temporal). Symmetric and transitive. Asserts TEMPORAL simultaneity only, never identity of the events themselves. (= time:intervalEquals; TimeML SIMULTANEOUS; TEO equal.)


Human-readable conditions under which the asset may be accessed (schema:conditionsOfAccess), e.g. "on-site access only".


The life event that conferred or changed an appellation — a gmeow:LifeEvent carrying a gmeow:eventType such as gmeow:eventTypeChristening, gmeow:eventTypeNameChange, gmeow:eventTypeMarriage (a married name), or gmeow:eventTypeAdoption. Non-functional. The seam joining the names module to the events module's event spine.


Confidence in a claim, in the closed interval [0,1], attached to the statement it qualifies.


The number of blocks confirming a transaction or log entry since its inclusion. Domain-free.


How a rights statement resolves a permission/prohibition conflict over the same action (odrl:conflict): gmeow:conflictPerm (permission wins), gmeow:conflictProhibit (prohibition wins), gmeow:conflictInvalid (the policy is void). Functional.


Universal traversable-link relation: relates any GMEOW thing to another thing it is directly connected to in a graph, network, or path. Intentionally broad; use specialized subproperties (spatiallyConnectsTo, hasSpouse, citesWork, dependsOn, …) when the kind of connection matters. NOT symmetric and NOT transitive at this level so that subproperties can be directed or undirected and reachability can be computed by the solver layer (Principle 12).


The boolean operator combining a logical constraint's members — one of the gmeow:ConstraintLogic values (odrl:and / or / xone / andSequence). Functional.


The comparison operator of an atomic constraint — one of the gmeow:ConstraintOperator values (odrl:operator). Functional.


Relates a location to a larger location that contains it; transitive. A spatial/topological specialization of the universal gmeow:partOf spine.


Relates a place to a larger place that geographically contains it; transitive. Chains the nested granularity (room ⊂ building ⊂ city ⊂ region ⊂ country), each level a first-class place. Non-functional: contested sovereignty claims (e.g. Crimea-class) coexist as standpoint-indexed statements (gmeow:accordingTo), never collapsing to a single winner (Principle 9).


The contained (child) place in this containment tenure. Functional: a tenure concerns exactly one child place.


The containing (parent) place in this containment tenure. Functional: a single tenure has exactly one parent place.


Allen CONTAINS: this event's extent strictly contains the related event's extent; the transitive inverse of gmeow:during. A TEMPORAL relation only — not spatial (gmeow:containedInPlace) nor mereological (gmeow:hasSubEvent). (= time:intervalContains; TimeML INCLUDES; TEO contains.)


The inverse of gmeow:containedInPlace — a place that geographically contains another place. Under OWL 2 semantics, transitivity is entailed because containedInPlace is transitive. GMEOW does not assert additional transitive property chains beyond the inverse declaration; transitive closure is a solver concern (Principle 12).


A content hash of the source's bytes (e.g. "blake3:…") — the reliable carrier identity (two imports of the same bytes are the same source, regardless of mtime or path). Not functional: a source may carry digests under several algorithms.


The address at which a smart contract is deployed.


Relates a set of coordinates to the reference frame they are expressed in.


The reference frame in which this CoordinateMatrix is expressed. Functional: a matrix is expressed in exactly one frame; frame transformation is a solver concern (Principle 12). Sub-property of gmeow:hasReferenceFrame so the frame-inheritance property chain (isResultOf ∘ hasReferenceFrame ⊑ hasReferenceFrame) applies automatically.


The place whose coordinates or geometry are being observed — the observedFeature of a coordinate observation. Subproperty of gmeow:spatialMeasurementOf (itself a subproperty of gmeow:observedFeature) so generic consumers can query all observations without knowing the domain.


The GeoCoordinates result of a coordinate observation — a point expressed as latitude, longitude, and optional elevation. The reference frame in which the coordinates are expressed is carried on the observation via gmeow:hasReferenceFrame and propagates to the result via the existing isResultOf ∘ hasReferenceFrame chain.


The agent that holds a copyright (schema:copyrightHolder; dcterms:rightsHolder). A specialisation of gmeow:wasAttributedTo — the canonical rights-holder attribution. Non-functional: joint copyright has several co-equal holders.

closeMatch=schema:copyrightHolder exactMatch=dcterms:rightsHolder relatedMatch=ma:isCopyrightedBy relatedMatch=wd:P3931


The human-readable copyright notice (schema:copyrightNotice), e.g. "© 2026 Blackcat Informatics Inc."

closeMatch=ma:copyright exactMatch=schema:copyrightNotice relatedMatch=dc:rights relatedMatch=dcterms:rights


The copyright status of a work — one of the gmeow:CopyrightStatus values (in-copyright / public-domain / no-known-copyright / not-evaluated), aligned to RightsStatements.org and PREMIS. Functional.


The work a copyright protects. Functional: one copyright relator is about one work.


The year copyright was asserted (schema:copyrightYear). Typed rdfs:Literal in the TBox to stay OWL 2 DL (xsd:gYear is not an OWL 2 datatype); data carries an xsd:gYear value.


Relates two GMEOW entities that are recognisable counterparts across realms, frames, datasets, editions, or modelling contexts without being safely mergeable. Symmetric but deliberately not transitive: counterparts preserve cross-realm linkage while avoiding owl:sameAs collapse of contested, standpoint-indexed, or context-dependent claims.


The country code coordinate value of a postal address, expressed along the gmeow:axisCountryCode axis of the postal reference frame. The intended value is an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code (e.g. "CA"), but this is a convention, not an enforced datatype facet. Non-functional: sources vary ("CA" / "Canada" / "CAN").


The date a creative work was published or issued.


Declination in degrees (−90 to +90). Frame-relative: the meaning depends on the coordinateFrame.


Relates an email address to the online account it delivers to — the seam joining an address (held by an agent) to the account a message resides in.


A free-text note or description about an entity — the unstructured NOTE field (a biography, a remark, an annotation). Genuinely flat: unlike names, dates or roles, a note has no structure to reify. Distinct from skos:definition, which documents ontology TERMS rather than instances. Language-tag the literal where applicable; non-functional.


The stated design goal/purpose of an engineered or constructed language (Lojban's syntactic unambiguity, Ithkuil's cognitive precision, an IAL's ease of learning). A literal; non-functional.


The MIME media type DETECTED from the bytes/magic of an information object (the observed type). May disagree with a filename's gmeow:claimedMediaType — a mismatch is recorded, not reasoned into a contradiction. Non-functional.


Relates a reference frame to its default determinacy model.


Relates a software project to an agent that develops it.


The number of dimensions spanned by a reference frame.


The display name as rendered in this particular header occurrence.


Whether a name or identity facet may be shown in interfaces and reports. The ONLY display control in the model — across naming (gmeow:Appellation) and identity (gmeow:IdentityFacet: gender/orientation), deliberately no preferred/primary marker (display selection is locale-relative and symmetric). It is intentionally domain-free so it applies to both. Superseded names (especially deadnames) and superseded gender/orientation labels set this false; consumers MUST honour false and never surface the string. NOT functional: in a multi-source merge, sources may disagree, and those claims must coexist rather than force a global inconsistency — the cautious value (false) wins at the projection layer. Cardinality is enforced by SHACL on data, not by the logical core.


The length of a gmeow:Duration as an xsd:duration literal (ISO 8601, e.g. P1Y2M / PT3H). DL-clean; the TEO hasNormalizedDuration 0Y0M0W0D0H0m0s string is a projection target.


Allen DURING: this event's extent falls strictly within the related event's extent (both endpoints interior). Transitive. Inverse of gmeow:contains. Distinct from gmeow:subEventOf (mereological part-of) and gmeow:containedInPlace (spatial). (= time:intervalDuring; TimeML IS_INCLUDED; TEO during.)


Relates a time-scoped relation to the interval over which it holds.


The earliest instant at which an event could have started — the lower bound of a fuzzy / approximate date (xsd:dateTime). Pairs with gmeow:latestEnd and a gmeow:temporalPrecision value to model uncertainty without abandoning DL-clean base triples.


Relates a concrete edition, issue, or manifestation of a creative work to the stable work it editions. Functional per edition, non-merge semantics: editions remain first-class works with their own identifiers, dates, rights, and provenance.


An ISO 8601-2 (EDTF) expression of an instant or interval, stored as a plain literal. EDTF parsing and normalization are solver-layer concerns (Principle 12).


An email address at which an agent can be reached.


The instant at which a time interval ends; absent if the interval is still open.


A convenience shortcut recording that one agent vouches for another. Deliberately NOT symmetric (endorsement is directional) and NOT transitive (trust must not propagate inside the reasoner — that is the metric the perspectival TrustAssertion bounds). Use gmeow:TrustAssertion for leveled, dated, perspectival trust.


The instant at which this point-like SensoryEnvironment holds. For interval-scoped environments, use gmeow:environmentDuringInterval instead.


The location whose ambient conditions this SensoryEnvironment describes. Functional: a SensoryEnvironment concerns exactly one location (constitutive of its identity).


The time interval over which this SensoryEnvironment holds. For point-like environments, use gmeow:environmentAtInstant instead.


The order of rotations for the Euler-angle representation (e.g., 'XYZ', 'ZYX', 'ZXZ').


The grammatical aspect of a textual mention of the event (ISO-TimeML EVENT @aspect). Annotation-layer only; orthogonal to the event's actual temporal placement.


The crisp, known time interval over which an event occurred (reuses the temporal module's gmeow:TimeInterval). For a point-like occurrence use gmeow:eventTime; for an approximate date use gmeow:earliestStart / gmeow:latestEnd + gmeow:temporalPrecision.

relatedMatch=crm:P4_has_time-span relatedMatch=ical:dtend relatedMatch=ical:dtstart relatedMatch=time:hasTime


A location at which an event occurred — a geographic gmeow:Place, a gmeow:VirtualLocation, or any other gmeow:Location (the full superset). Non-functional: an event may span several locations, and competing standpoint-indexed locations coexist.

closeMatch=bio:place closeMatch=crm:P7_took_place_at closeMatch=gedcom:place closeMatch=ical:location closeMatch=lode:atPlace closeMatch=schema:location closeMatch=sem:hasPlace


A spacetime slice of an event, expressed as a gmeow:LocationState that carries location, time interval or instant, pose, and optional velocity relative to an explicit reference frame (Principle 11). Reuses LocationState rather than minting a parallel 4D class. Multiple slices may coexist for the same event.


The temporal frame in which the event's date/interval is expressed — explicit for non-default frames (Principle 11).


The grammatical tense of a textual mention of the event (ISO-TimeML EVENT @tense). Annotation-layer only; MUST NOT be inferred from, or used to infer, the event's gmeow:eventTime / eventInterval.


The instant at which a point-like event occurred (xsd:dateTime — DL-clean, never xsd:date). Replaces the former free-text gmeow:eventDate. Non-functional: competing standpoint-indexed dates coexist as confidence-weighted statements.

closeMatch=bio:date closeMatch=gedcom:date closeMatch=ical:dtstart closeMatch=schema:startDate closeMatch=wdt:P585


The trajectory of a moving event — a parade, march, migration, or procession — describing its continuous space-time path. Reuses the gmeow:Trajectory facility from the locations module (#94). Non-functional: competing trajectory claims from different sources coexist (Principle 9).


The kind(s) of an event, drawn from the open gmeow:EventType value vocabulary. Non-functional: an occurrence may carry several types (a wedding that is also a religious rite), and competing standpoint-indexed type claims coexist rather than contradict.


The creation event associated with this existence record. Optional: an EntityExistence may record only an interval when the creation event is unknown.


The destruction event associated with this existence record. Optional: an EntityExistence for a still-extant entity has no destruction event.


The entity whose existence is recorded by this EntityExistence. Functional: an EntityExistence concerns exactly one entity (constitutive of the situation's identity).


The time interval over which an entity exists. Open-ended (no end instant) when the entity is still extant. Non-functional: in a multi-source merge, different sources may give different bounds, and those claims coexist as standpoint-indexed statements. Carries its temporal frame via gmeow:hasTemporalFrame on the TimeInterval (Principle 11).


The gmeow:GenderExpressionStyle value a gender-expression facet asserts (functional per facet). A predefined individual or a fresh one with rdfs:label; the single path to the value.


The extended-address coordinate value of a postal address, expressed along the gmeow:axisExtendedAddress axis of the postal reference frame.


The person an identity facet (gender identity, gender expression, sexual/romantic orientation) is about — the observedFeature of the claim. Domain is gmeow:Observation so it applies to any observation subclass; the shape narrows to IdentityFacet instances.


The agent asserting an identity facet — the vantage of the claim. When gmeow:selfAsserted is true, the facetVantage is the person themselves (Principle 9: self-assertion is top authority).


The finality status of a ledger transaction or block. Domain-free.


A fingerprint (hash) identifying a key. Not functional: different sources may report differing or differently-formatted fingerprints for the same key.


Allen FINISHED-BY: inverse of gmeow:finishes. (= time:intervalFinishedBy; TimeML ENDED_BY; TEO finishedBy.)


Allen FINISHES: this event and the related event end together, and this one began later (it is a final sub-span). NOT transitive. Inverse of gmeow:finishedBy. (= time:intervalFinishes; TimeML ENDS; TEO finishes.)


The calendar system of a temporal frame, when one is used. Optional: some frames (e.g. Julian Date) carry only a scale.


Relates a reference frame to its structural frame kind.


Relates a reference frame to the realm it describes.


The reference position of a temporal frame, when one is needed. Optional: TAI needs none; civil time needs a timezone.


Identifies the external solver or transformation method to resolve coordinates in this frame.


The time scale of a temporal frame (functional: a frame has exactly one scale).


The author address of a message (RFC 5322 From).


The complete surface form of an appellation as a single string, in the natural order of its culture (language-/script-tag the literal, e.g. "山田太郎"@ja, "Yamada Tarō"@ja-Latn). Authoritative for display. Non-functional: spellings/transliterations from different sources coexist.

closeMatch=foaf:name closeMatch=ontolex:writtenRep closeMatch=schema:name closeMatch=vcard:fn closeMatch=wdt:P1559


The gmeow:Gender value a gender-identity facet asserts (functional PER FACET — one value each; multiplicity is expressed by multiple facets). The value is a gmeow:Gender individual: a predefined one, or — when none fits — a fresh individual carrying rdfs:label (the custom-PronounSet idiom). The single path to the gender value; there is deliberately no flat datatype shortcut.


Projection-compiler guidance naming the transitive part/whole property to walk when coarsening a value (e.g. gmeow:containedInPlace for places). Defaults to gmeow:partOf when absent. An annotation property — it directs generalization without imposing logical semantics, keeping the core OWL 2 DL.


The geocoding reference frame in which this code is expressed. Functional: a geocode is expressed in exactly one frame.


The string value of a geocode in its reference frame — the canonical literal carrier. Per-system properties (plusCode, what3words, …) are convenience accessors; a single Geocode instance carries exactly one code value (enforced by SHACL).


A geohash string — a hierarchical spatial indexing system encoding latitude and longitude into a base32 string (e.g. 'u4pruydqqvj').


The ontic determinacy model of a geometry's boundary — crisp (surveyed), vague (approximate), fuzzy (probabilistic), or disputed. Non-functional: competing source classifications coexist.


The Geometry result of a coordinate observation — a point, line, or polygon expressed as WKT or GeoJSON. The reference frame is carried on the observation and propagates to the result via the existing property chain.


The structural kind of a geometry (a gmeow:GeometryType individual). Non-functional: competing source classifications may differ (e.g. polygon vs multipolygon) and must coexist as evidence.


Relates a location to an accessibility facet it positively provides. Non-functional: a location may support many facets. A location MAY simultaneously carry hasAccessibilityFeature and hasBarrier for the SAME facet (e.g. a ramp at the front entrance and stairs at the side entrance).


Relates an entity to an accessibility facet it requires in order to reach or use a location. Non-functional: needs are co-equal facets (Principle 9). There is no 'primary need' — all asserted needs coexist.


Relates an agent to an agreement it is party to. The party-ship period is carried with gmeow:validFrom/validUntil on this statement; the agreement's own term/effective dates live on the gmeow:Agreement individual (no double-modelling).


Relates an agreement to a structured gmeow:AgreementName it bears; the agreement-scoped specialization of gmeow:hasAppellation. Non-functional — an agreement may bear many co-equal names (formal title, short name, multilingual versions); none is primary.


Relates a person to an ancestor — a parent, a parent's parent, and so on. Transitive: an ancestor of an ancestor is an ancestor. gmeow:hasParent (hence gmeow:hasMother / hasFather) is a sub-property, so ancestry is DERIVED from parentage by the reasoner and is never asserted directly.


Relates an entity to an appellation (name-object) it bears. The universal name-bearing property; gmeow:hasName is the person-scoped specialization. Non-functional — entities bear many co-equal names; a bearing's period is carried with gmeow:validFrom/validUntil on the statement, or reified as a gmeow:NameUsage when audience/register/evidence must be borne.


Relates a message to one of its attachments.


Relates an entity to an attestation about it — the inverse of gmeow:attestedSubject. Non-functional: an entity may have many co-existing attestations from different attesters (Principle 9).


Relates a message to an authentication check performed on it.


Relates a creative work to an agent chiefly responsible for creating its intellectual content.


Relates a reference frame to one of its coordinate axes.


Relates a location to an accessibility facet it impedes. Non-functional: a location may have multiple barriers. A location MAY simultaneously carry hasAccessibilityFeature and hasBarrier for the SAME facet (e.g. a ramp at the front entrance and stairs at the side entrance).


Links a spatial aggregation to one of its constituent spatial bins. Non-functional: a bin may participate in multiple aggregations.


Relates a message to a MIME part of its body. A MIME-structure specialization of the universal gmeow:hasPart spine.


Relates a place (typically a parcel, lot, or spatial unit) to a structured cadastral reference issued by a registry.


Links a location to a capacity measurement describing the maximum number of entities it can hold. Flat form for the common case; promote to full reified Capacity when vantage, confidence, temporal scope, or standpoint matter.


Relates a celestial location to its equatorial or other sky coordinates.


The geometric centroid of a place — a flat shortcut for the common case. The full relator form is a SpatialAggregation with aggregationFunction aggCentroid, carrying provenance, frame, and solver reference.


Relates a person to a child; the inverse of hasParent.

closeMatch=bio:child closeMatch=gedcom:child closeMatch=wdt:P40 equivalentProperty=rel:parentOf equivalentProperty=schema:children


Relates an agent to a means of contacting it.


Specifies a transformation or projection matrix associated with a coordinate axis, a homogeneous 4×4 pose matrix combining translation and rotation, a general n-D coordinate matrix (e.g. latent vector, configuration-space joint angles) on a SpatialCoordinates instance, or a geocode identifier string on a Geocode instance (treated as a 1×1 identifier matrix, Principle 11).

gmeow:Axis | gmeow:Pose | gmeow:SpatialCoordinates | gmeow:Geocode


Links a place to a coordinate observation that assigned coordinates or geometry to it. Non-functional: multiple surveys (GPS, LiDAR, total station) may coexist for the same place (Principle 9), and no observation is privileged.


Relates a place to its geographic point coordinates. Flat shortcut for the common case; the full relator form is a CoordinateObservation linking the place to a GeoCoordinates result via gmeow:coordinateResult, carrying provenance, reference frame, confidence, and standpoint (Principle 3). Non-simple: derived via property chain from the reified observation path.


Relates a work to its reified copyright.


Links an entity to the event that brought it into existence — the general form of birth (person), founding (organization), minting (currency), or realization (reference frame). Non-functional: competing standpoint-indexed creation claims coexist, none privileged. A Person's birth event is ALSO typed gmeow:eventTypeBirth (co-equal value, not a subclass).


The data controller responsible for processing personal data under a rights statement — the agent that determines the purposes and means of processing.


The data subject whose personal data is governed by a rights statement — the individual about whom personal data is processed. Not a subproperty of gmeow:hasParty because a rights statement (an ODRL policy) is not an agreement; the party model is reused at the licence level.


Relates a person to a descendant — a child, a child's child, and so on; the transitive inverse of gmeow:hasAncestor. Derived by the reasoner (gmeow:hasChild is a sub-property), never asserted directly.


Links an entity to the event that ended its existence — the general form of death (person), dissolution (organization), destruction (place), or retirement (frame, software). Non-functional: competing standpoint-indexed destruction claims coexist. A Person's death event is ALSO typed gmeow:eventTypeDeath. Suppression (gmeow:displayable false) is a display contract; destruction is an ontic fact — the entity is retained, merely marked as no longer extant.


Relates a value, entity, or claim to its ontic determinacy model — the explicit facet recording whether the value is crisp, vague, fuzzy, probabilistic, or disputed. Domain-free (universal, like hasGranularity). NOT functional: in a multi-source merge sources may state different determinacy models, and those claims coexist rather than force the reasoner to collapse distinct models. Distinct from gmeow:confidence (epistemic certainty) and from gmeow:determinacyModel (the frame-level default for a ReferenceFrame).


Relates an event to its duration (a gmeow:Duration). Distinct from gmeow:eventInterval (which anchors the event in time); a duration is a length only.


Relates a rights statement (or a permission) to a duty / obligation that must be discharged (an odrl:duty / odrl:obligation rule). The domain is the union of gmeow:RightsStatement and gmeow:Permission, so a permission may carry its own duties without being misclassified as a rights statement.


The end instant of a time interval; absent if the interval is open-ended.


Relates a person to a self-asserted gender-expression facet. Non-functional and contextual. MUST NOT be inferred from gmeow:hasGenderIdentity, gmeow:sexAssignedAtBirth, pronouns or honorifics.


Relates a person to a self-asserted gender-identity facet they hold. Non-functional and contextual — a person bears many co-equal identities; a superseded one is kept with gmeow:displayable false, never deleted. MUST NOT be inferred from gmeow:hasPronounSet, gmeow:honorific, gmeow:hasGenderExpression or gmeow:sexAssignedAtBirth.


Relates a place to an alternative geocoding identifier expressed in a specific reference frame. Non-functional: a place may have multiple geocodes in different systems, and competing geocodes for the same system may coexist as standpoint-indexed claims (Principle 9).


Relates a place to its spatial geometry (point, line, or polygon). Flat shortcut for the common case; the full relator form is a CoordinateObservation linking the place to a Geometry result via gmeow:geometryResult, carrying provenance, reference frame, confidence, and standpoint (Principle 3). Non-simple: derived via property chain from the reified observation path.


Relates a value, place, period, coordinate or measurement to its own resolution level — the explicit 'no silent precision' facet, queryable independently of any disclosure control. Domain-free. NOT functional: in a multi-source merge sources may state different resolutions, and those claims coexist rather than force the reasoner to collapse distinct levels.


Relates a message to one of its RFC 5322 headers.


Relates a message to a flag/keyword applied to it.


Relates an entity (a work, dataset, software project, …) to a licence granting rights in it (dcterms:license; schema:license). Named gmeow:hasLicense — gmeow:license is reserved for the mapping-DSL set-license datatype property.

closeMatch=cc:license closeMatch=schema:license exactMatch=dcterms:license relatedMatch=spdx:licenseConcluded relatedMatch=spdx:licenseDeclared relatedMatch=wd:P275


An objective measurement of the ambient conditions, expressed as a CoordinateMatrix in a measurement reference frame. Non-functional: multiple instruments may produce competing measurements, and those claims coexist rather than collapse (Principle 9).


Relates an organization to one of its member agents; the inverse of memberOf.


Relates a message to one of its reified address occurrences.


Records that two agents have met; symmetric. The occasion/period is carried with gmeow:validFrom/validUntil on the statement.


The distance or dissimilarity metric declared by this reference frame. Functional: a frame uses exactly one metric kind for all proximity computations expressed in it. The actual computation is performed by the solver (Principle 12), never materialised as asserted triples in the OWL core.


Relates a person to a structured, typed PersonName they bear; the person-scoped specialization of gmeow:hasAppellation. Non-functional — a person bears many co-equal names.


Relates an appellation to one of its reified, typed parts. Non-functional — a name has many parts. A specialized information-object component relation under the universal gmeow:hasPart spine.


The relationship(s) this narrative frame bears to another frame — canon, alternate continuity, expanded universe, fanon, crossover, adaptation. Non-functional: competing relation claims from different standpoints coexist (Principle 9). Flat shortcut; promote to gmeow:NarrativeFrameLink when the binding between source, target, and relation type must be explicit.


Relates a virtual location to a network address that locates it within a network topology.


Links a location to an occupancy measurement describing the current number of entities located at it. Flat form for the common case; promote to full reified Occupancy when vantage, confidence, temporal scope, or standpoint matter.


Relates a person to an occupation they hold or have held.


Relates an organization to a structured gmeow:OrganizationName it bears; the organization-scoped specialization of gmeow:hasAppellation, mirroring gmeow:hasName for persons and gmeow:hasPlaceName for places. Non-functional — an organization bears many co-equal names (legal, trading, former, multilingual); none is primary, and superseded ones set gmeow:displayable false.


Relates a person to a parent (any kind: biological, adoptive, step, or foster). Non-functional: contested parentage claims from multiple sources coexist as standpoint-indexed statements (gmeow:accordingTo), never collapsing to a single winner (Principle 9).


Universal whole-to-part inverse of gmeow:partOf. Transitive and intentionally broad; specialized component and containment properties remain the authoritative source for domain-specific meaning.


An agent that took part in an event — the flat 80%-case shortcut. Non-functional. Promote to a gmeow:Participation node when the role, period, confidence, or evidence of the participation must be recorded.

closeMatch=bio:agent closeMatch=crm:P11_had_participant closeMatch=ical:attendee closeMatch=lode:involvedAgent closeMatch=sem:hasActor


Relates a couple relationship to one of its two partners.


Relates an agreement to an agent that is bound by it.


A standpoint-indexed perceived value about the ambient conditions, expressed as a SensoryPerception in a MentalReferenceFrame. Non-functional: multiple perceivers may produce competing perceptions, and those claims coexist rather than collapse (Principle 9).


Relates a rights statement to a permission it grants (an odrl:permission rule).


Relates a geographic gmeow:Place to a structured gmeow:PlaceName (toponym) it bears; the place-scoped specialization of gmeow:hasAppellation, mirroring gmeow:hasName for persons. Non-functional — a place bears many co-equal names (endonym/exonym, multilingual, historical); none is primary, and superseded ones set gmeow:displayable false. The structured, first-class replacement for the retired flat gmeow:alternateName literal.


Associates an entity with a frame-relative pose (position + orientation).


The translational component of a pose, expressed as spatial coordinates in the pose frame.


Relates an entity or rights statement to its privacy notice. Domain-free: a notice may be attached to a RightsStatement, a Licence, or directly to the governed entity.


Links an entity, value or frame to the Profile that governs its structure.


Relates a rights statement to a prohibition it imposes (an odrl:prohibition rule).


Relates a person to a pronoun set they go by. Non-functional and contextual (scope a context-specific set with gmeow:validFrom/validUntil on the statement, or via a NameUsage). A form of ADDRESS, sex/gender-independent — MUST NOT be inferred from gender identity/expression, sex-assigned-at-birth or orientation.


Relates an event series to the recurrence rule by which it repeats.


Relates an entity or value to the reference frame in which it is expressed.

closeMatch=fibo-fnd-acc-cur:hasCurrency closeMatch=lvont:language closeMatch=qudt:unit closeMatch=time:hasTRS

Relates a message to a hop in its delivery path.


Relates a software project to a source-code repository.

Relates a membership to the role the member plays.


Relates a person to a self-asserted romantic-orientation facet. Non-functional and contextual; a superseded one is kept with gmeow:displayable false, never deleted. MUST NOT be inferred from gmeow:hasSexualOrientation, gmeow:hasGenderIdentity, gmeow:sexAssignedAtBirth, pronouns or honorifics.


Relates a thing to a route that starts from, ends at, or passes through it.


A sub-route that is part of a larger route. A specialization of the universal gmeow:hasPart spine.


Relates a value, entity, or claim to its privacy-sensitivity level — the explicit facet that drives disclosure-control decisions (coarsenTo / displayable) at projection time under a consent guard. Domain-free (universal, like hasGranularity and hasDeterminacy). NOT functional: in a multi-source merge sources may state different sensitivity levels, and those claims coexist rather than force the reasoner to collapse distinct levels. Distinct from gmeow:confidence (epistemic certainty) and from gmeow:hasDeterminacy (ontic model).


Links a sequence feature to its frame-relative coordinates. Non-functional: competing coordinate claims from different assemblies or alignment methods coexist as evidence (Principle 9).


Links a biological sequence location to a feature annotation on that sequence. Non-functional: a single location may carry multiple features (overlapping genes, nested exons, multiple SNPs).


Relates a person to a self-asserted sexual-orientation facet. Non-functional and contextual; a superseded one is kept with gmeow:displayable false, never deleted. MUST NOT be inferred from gmeow:hasRomanticOrientation, gmeow:hasGenderIdentity, gmeow:sexAssignedAtBirth, pronouns or honorifics.


Relates a person to a sibling; symmetric.


Relates an entity, attestation, or artifact to a cryptographic signature over it. Domain-free (universal spine): anything may carry a signature. The message-specific convenience property with domain gmeow:Message lives in the messaging-trust module as a historical subproperty.


Relates an agent to a skill it possesses.


Relates a software project to a structured gmeow:SoftwareName it bears; the software-project-scoped specialization of gmeow:hasAppellation. Non-functional — a project may bear many co-equal names (codename, product name, localized names); none is primary.


Relates an entity or reified claim to a source that provides evidence for it. The strength of that evidence is recorded with gmeow:confidence on the supported statement.


Links an entity to a spatial measurement describing its coordinates, geometry, pose, or spatial extent. Flat form for the common case; promote to full reified SpatialMeasurement when vantage, confidence, temporal scope, or standpoint matter.


Relates a person to a spouse; symmetric.


Links an entity to a stream of observations or samples about it. Non-functional: an entity may have multiple co-existing streams from different platforms or sensors (Principle 9), and no stream is privileged.


Relates an event to a constituent sub-event; the transitive inverse of gmeow:subEventOf.


Relates an entity to a user-minted tag — the 80% flat shortcut. Non-functional: an entity may carry many co-equal tags. Period, confidence, tagger and suppression are carried via RDF-star statement annotations (gmeow:validFrom, gmeow:validUntil, gmeow:confidence, gmeow:displayable) on the shortcut; promote to a gmeow:Tagging relator when the act itself must be a node.


Relates a time interval to the temporal frame in which its bounds are expressed.


Relates an entity (event, artifact, place, sample) to a temporal measurement assigned to it.


The time standard associated with a celestial reference frame. Functional: a frame uses exactly one time scale.


Relates a creative work to a structured gmeow:CreativeWorkTitle it bears; the creative-work-scoped specialization of gmeow:hasAppellation. Non-functional — a work bears many co-equal titles (original, translated, transliterated, regional); none is primary, and superseded ones set gmeow:displayable false. The structured replacement for the flat gmeow:title literal when multilingual or statement-level metadata is needed.


Relates an entity (a mark, product or organization) to a trademark right over it.


A discrete location-state sample composing this trajectory. Non-functional: a trajectory typically has many samples, and multiple sampling strategies (e.g. GPS every second vs. radar every minute) may coexist for the same trajectory (Principle 9).


Relates a quantitative value or measurement to its QUDT unit (by reference, never imported). Domain-free: used by temporal measurements, spatial measurements, and any other quantified claim.


Records that an agent has used some entity (a tool, service, or work). The period is carried with gmeow:validFrom/validUntil on the statement.


Links a location to a utilization measurement describing the ratio of occupancy to capacity. Flat form for the common case; promote to full reified Utilization when vantage, confidence, temporal scope, or standpoint matter.


The categorical outcome of a verification result. Non-functional: a single result may carry multiple status interpretations (e.g. 'verified but expired').


Relates an entity to a web page representing it — a homepage, a profile page, a project site. The structured form of a 'website / URL' field: the page is a first-class gmeow:WebPage (documents module) whose IRI is its URL, so it can itself carry a title, language, and rights. Non-functional — an entity may have several pages.


Records that two agents have worked together; symmetric. The period is carried with gmeow:validFrom/validUntil on the statement, or reified as a gmeow:ProfessionalRelationship.


The compass direction an entity is facing, typically clockwise from north, in degrees.


Relates an agent to an online account it holds.


Relates an agent to a cryptographic key it holds. The period over which the agent held the key may be carried with gmeow:validFrom/validUntil on this statement.


An honorific/title of address for a person (a gmeow:Honorific value). Non-functional and contextual. A form of ADDRESS, sex/gender-independent — MUST NOT be inferred from gender identity/expression, sex-assigned-at-birth or orientation.


The domain/class of an honorific (academic, clerical, noble, military, judicial, social).


Whether an honorific is rendered before (prefix) or after (suffix) the name.


The position of a hop within the message path (1 = closest to the origin).


A formal identifier of a creative work, such as a DOI or patent number.


Relative import/source importance of a claim on a 0–10 scale; projection takes the maximum across imports.


The reference assembly (e.g. GRCh38) in which these sequence coordinates are expressed. Functional: a coordinate tuple is expressed in exactly one assembly; coordinates in another assembly are a different SequenceCoordinates instance (Principle 11).


Relates a message to the message it directly replies to (RFC 5322 In-Reply-To).


Relates an instant to the temporal frame in which its value is expressed.


When an import activity recorded its claims into the system — the transaction time. Distinct from gmeow:assertedAt (observation) and gmeow:validFrom/validUntil (validity).


The crisp instant as an xsd:dateTime literal in the associated temporal frame.


An optional free-text note recording an intersex variation, for inclusivity where gmeow:sexAssignedAtBirth gmeow:saabIntersex is insufficient. Deliberately a plain note, NOT a clinical DSD taxonomy and NOT a value vocabulary — GMEOW does not model medical sex characteristics in depth.


Allen AFTER: this interval begins strictly after the related interval ends. Transitive inverse of gmeow:intervalBefore. (= time:intervalAfter)


Allen BEFORE: this interval ends strictly before the related interval begins. Transitive. Inverse of gmeow:intervalAfter. (= time:intervalBefore)


Allen EQUALS: this interval and the related interval share the same temporal extent. Symmetric and transitive. TEMPORAL simultaneity only, never identity of the intervals themselves. (= time:intervalEquals)


Allen CONTAINS: this interval's extent strictly contains the related interval's extent. Transitive inverse of gmeow:intervalDuring. (= time:intervalContains)


Allen DURING: this interval's extent falls strictly within the related interval's extent. Transitive. Inverse of gmeow:intervalContains. (= time:intervalDuring)


Allen FINISHED-BY: inverse of gmeow:intervalFinishes. (= time:intervalFinishedBy)


Allen FINISHES: this interval and the related interval end together, and this one began later. NOT transitive. Inverse of gmeow:intervalFinishedBy. (= time:intervalFinishes)

Allen STARTED-BY: inverse of gmeow:intervalStarts. (= time:intervalStartedBy)


Allen STARTS: this interval and the related interval begin together, and this one ends first. NOT transitive. Inverse of gmeow:intervalStartedBy. (= time:intervalStarts)


The trust-signature amount/weight the trustor assigns to the trustee as an introducer.


The trust-signature depth: how many levels of indirect introducers the trustor is willing to follow (a trust-signature notion, not computed here).


Aboutness — a resource is about another resource. Distinct from typing (rdf:type) and from tagging (gmeow:hasTag): aboutness is a semantic subject-matter relation, tagging is a user-applied label, and typing is an ontological classification. Non-functional.


Whether the asset is accessible without payment (schema:isAccessibleForFree).


Relates a reference frame to the entity that hosts it — the entity whose existence bounds the frame's existence. A local grid is hosted by its building; a robot base frame by its robot; a mental reference frame by its perceiver (person, animal, or AI agent). When the host ceases to exist, the hosted frame deactivates (destruction event or existenceInterval end). Non-functional: contested authorship or multi-agent shared frames may have multiple host claims that coexist (Principle 9).


Whether the licence is approved by the Open Source Initiative (spdx:isOsiApproved).


Relates an entity (typically an observation result such as a quantity, coordinate set, or quality value) back to the Observation that produced it — the explicit provenance axis of the value×unit/frame×determinacy×provenance bundle (#77). Domain is gmeow:Entity (universal, matching the range of observationResult) so any result type can carry provenance. Non-functional: a result entity may be produced by multiple observations (e.g. a consensus value derived from several readings), and those claims coexist rather than collapse.


The instant an attestation was issued. Functional: the issue time is constitutive of the attestation's identity.


The ontic determinacy model of this jurisdiction claim — crisp (well-defined border), vague (approximate boundary), fuzzy (probabilistic membership), or disputed (competing claims). Non-functional: sources may disagree on determinacy, and those claims coexist.


The place whose governance is recorded by this JurisdictionTenure. Functional: a tenure concerns exactly one place (constitutive of the situation's identity).


The governing polity (state, administrative body, or organization) that held jurisdiction over the place during this tenure. Functional: a single tenure has exactly one governing polity.


The key's algorithm (e.g. rsa, ed25519, secp256k1). Not functional (source-variable).


The instant a key is set to expire. Not functional (sources may report different expiry, and subkeys differ).


A short identifier for a key (e.g. a PGP long key id). Not functional (source-variable).


The public key material itself (armored or hex form). Not functional (encodings vary by source).


The scheme/format of a cryptographic key (one of the gmeow:KeyScheme individuals). Functional: a key has exactly one scheme — a key of a different scheme is a different key.


Relates an agent to a language it knows. Non-functional. The leveled, per-skill detail is carried by the reified gmeow:LanguageProficiency.


An OPTIONAL registry code for a language (a BCP-47 tag "ja", an ISO 639-3 code "jpn", a Glottocode). A see-also alignment value, NEVER identity — a code-less conlang or AI-language is fully first-class. Authoritative identity is the self-minted IRI; assert registry coreference with skos:exactMatch and gmeow:authorityLink. Non-functional (a language carries codes in several registries).


The sensory/transmission modality/modalities of a language (gmeow:LanguageModality individuals). Non-functional — many languages are multimodal (spoken and written).


The origin kind(s) of a language (gmeow:LanguageOrigin individuals). Non-functional — a contact language may be both creole and mixed.


The vitality status of a language (a gmeow:LanguageStatus value). Non-functional: source classifications coexist; period carried with gmeow:validFrom/validUntil on the statement.


The internal private-use BCP-47 language tag (e.g., 'x-gmeow-japanese') used for @lang annotations on string literals representing this language.


The latest instant by which an event must have ended — the upper bound of a fuzzy / approximate date (xsd:dateTime). Pairs with gmeow:earliestStart and a gmeow:temporalPrecision value.


The latitude of a geographic point in decimal degrees.


A cryptographic inclusion proof for a transaction, event, or transparency log entry. Domain-free: applies to LedgerTransaction, LedgerEvent, TransparencyLogEntry, and Block.


The dimension an atomic constraint tests — one of the gmeow:LeftOperand values (odrl:leftOperand). Functional.


The scale a proficiency-level individual belongs to (e.g. cefrB2 levelScale scaleCEFR). Functional.


The family a licence belongs to — one of the gmeow:LicenseFamily values. Functional.


The full legal text of a licence (spdx:licenseText).


The work a licence grants rights in. Functional.


The party receiving a licence (odrl:assignee). A specialisation of gmeow:hasParty. Absent on an open / public licence offered to everyone.


The party granting a licence (odrl:assigner). A specialisation of gmeow:hasParty. Non-functional: a licence may be granted jointly.


The mailing-list identifier a message was distributed through (RFC 2919 List-Id).


Relates an entity to a location it is situated at, resides in, or occurs at — geographic, virtual, or storage.


The sequential index of the entry within its transparency log.


A URL at which the transparency log entry can be retrieved. Non-functional: multiple mirrors may exist.


The index of a ledger event within its containing block or transaction.


A member constraint combined by a logical constraint (odrl:operand). Non-functional: a logical constraint combines two or more.


The longitude of a geographic point in decimal degrees.


Relates a mailbox to the online account that holds it.


The special-use role of a mailbox (JMAP role): inbox, archive, drafts, sent, trash, junk, templates.


The source property a claim was derived from during ingestion, recorded for mapping-step audit.


The textual form of a mark (the brand name / word mark), e.g. "Blackcat Informatics".


The shape descriptor of a CoordinateMatrix (e.g. '4×1' for a colourspace tuple, '256×1' for a spectral vector, '640×480×3' for a thermal image). Enables the solver layer to parse matrixValue correctly without inferring shape from the literal content (Principle 12).


The serialised numeric content of a CoordinateMatrix — a vector, matrix, or tensor expressed as a literal (e.g. a JSON array, a WKT-like tuple string, or a base64-encoded binary blob). The serialisation format is frame-specific and is interpreted by the solver layer (Principle 12).


The numeric age yielded by a temporal measurement, in the unit given by gmeow:hasUnit.


The absolute date instant yielded by a temporal measurement. Semantically plays the observationResult role for TemporalMeasurement, but is NOT asserted as rdfs:subPropertyOf gmeow:observationResult because gmeow:Instant (gufo:AbstractIndividual) is not a subclass of gmeow:Entity (gufo:Endurant), the range of gmeow:observationResult. Projection-layer alignment to time:hasTime lives in the mapping DSL.


The ontic determinacy model of a temporal measurement — crisp, vague, fuzzy, probabilistic, or disputed. Bridges to gmeow:hasDeterminacy (rdfs:subPropertyOf) so generic consumers can query determinacy uniformly across all domains.


The dating method used for a temporal measurement. Bridges to gmeow:observationMethod (rdfs:subPropertyOf) so generic consumers can query all observations by method without knowing the domain.


The uncertainty (e.g. ±1 sigma) of a temporal measurement, in the same unit as the measured age.


The MIME media type of a body part (e.g. text/plain, application/pdf).


Allen MEETS: this event ends exactly when the related event begins (no gap, no overlap). NOT transitive. Inverse of gmeow:metBy. (= time:intervalMeets; TimeML IBEFORE / immediately-before; TEO meets.)


Relates an agent to an organization it belongs to.


The agent or standpoint that asserts this version membership and its role — a project maintainer, a package registry, a publisher, a curator, or a self-asserting individual. NON-FUNCTIONAL: competing authority claims coexist without privilege (Principle 9). When the claim is promoted from a flat statement annotation, gmeow:accordingTo becomes the membershipAuthority of the relator.


The time interval over which this version membership / role claim holds. A relator carries its period this way (matching gmeow:usageInterval, gmeow:taggingInterval, gmeow:relationshipInterval) rather than via gmeow:duringInterval, which is reserved for gufo:Situation-based time-scoped relations.


The agent whose membership a gmeow:Membership reifies. Functional — a membership concerns one member (the relator's member role); the flat gmeow:memberOf is the agent→organization shortcut, this connects the reified relator to its member so role and period can be carried.


The organization a gmeow:Membership is in. Functional — a membership concerns one organization (which may be a department, i.e. a gmeow:subOrganizationOf a larger org).


Allen MET-BY: this event begins exactly when the related event ends; inverse of gmeow:meets. (= time:intervalMetBy; TimeML IAFTER; TEO metBy.)


A Military Grid Reference System coordinate — a geocoordinate standard used by NATO militaries (e.g. '33TWN00020001').


A linear-referencing mile-marker or chainage — a distance-along-a-line coordinate on a linear feature such as a road, railway, or pipeline (e.g. '42.3'). The unit and direction are solver-layer attributes (Principle 12), or may be declared via gmeow:hasUnit.


The minimum population size (k) required for the aggregation result to be disclosed — the k-anonymity parameter. A result failing this check is suppressed at projection time (coarsen or withhold, Principle 10), never deleted.


A simple label by which an entity is known — the rdfs:label tier, for entities that do not need the full naming apparatus (organizations, software agents, sources, keys). Persons' names are modelled as gmeow:PersonName (names module); a flat given/family ('First Last') rendering is produced by downcasting that structured model in the projection layer, not stored here. Carries no precedence over an entity's other names. Language-tag the literal where applicable.


The first-class gmeow:Language an appellation's surface form is in. Language is ALWAYS a first-class gmeow:Language (registry-INDEPENDENT, self-minted IRI) — never a bare BCP-47 literal; codes (e.g. "ja", "zh") live on the Language via gmeow:languageCode, so a code-less conlang or AI-minted language names co-equally. FUNCTIONAL — exactly one language per appellation: co-equal multilingual names are modelled as SEPARATE co-equal gmeow:Appellation instances (one per language), never by multi-tagging a single name (that is what keeps naming anti-colonial and symmetric). Drives locale-relative, symmetric display selection — never a ranking of one name above another. The script the form is written in is gmeow:nameScript (bridging to a first-class gmeow:WritingSystem).

closeMatch=dcterms:language closeMatch=lime:language closeMatch=schema:inLanguage closeMatch=wdt:P407


The kind of a name part (a gmeow:NamePartType value). Functional: a single part has one kind — a part that is both a surname and a patronymic is modelled as two parts.


The intrinsic kind/purpose(s) of an appellation (legal, birth, chosen, professional, deadname, …) — a gmeow:NamePurpose value. Non-functional: a name may be both legal and chosen.


The ISO 15924 script code of an appellation (e.g. "Hani", "Arab", "Latn"). Available explicitly for indexing alongside a BCP-47 script subtag on the literal.


The relation type (canon, adaptation, crossover, etc.) that holds between the source and target frames in this link. Functional per relator: one relation type per NarrativeFrameLink.


The source narrative reference frame in a link. Functional per relator: one source per NarrativeFrameLink.


The target narrative reference frame in a link. Functional per relator: one target per NarrativeFrameLink.


A narrower, more specific tag. Inverse of gmeow:broaderTag. Optional.


Relates an agent to a native (mother-tongue / first) language — a specialization of gmeow:knowsLanguage. Non-functional: a person may have several native languages.


The network reference frame in which this address is expressed. Functional: an address is expressed in exactly one frame.


The kind of a network address (a gmeow:NetworkAddressType individual). Non-functional: competing classifications coexist (Principle 9).


The literal string value of a network address (e.g. '192.0.2.1', '00:1B:44:11:3A:B7', 'example.com', '443'). Functional: an address has exactly one value string.


A Nostr NIP-05 identifier (user@domain) verifying a Nostr account against a domain.


The Nostr public key (npub / hex) identifying a decentralized-identity account.


The event during which the observation was made — a survey, a census, an excavation, a clinical trial. Links an observation to the temporal occurrence that produced it. For the generating activity (provenance), use gmeow:wasGeneratedBy; this property is the *event* perspective (when did it happen).


The method or protocol used to produce the observation. Functional: one method per observation (compound protocols are modelled as a single fused method individual, e.g. 'GPS-RTK survey with ground control'). Distinct from gmeow:vantage: the method is *how* it was done, the vantage is *who* did it.


The entity-valued result of an observation — a coordinate set, an instant, a quality value, a quantity, or another entity. For literal scalar readings (e.g. 22.5°C), the observationResult entity carries the literal via a datatype property (e.g. qudt:quantityValue or a module-specific scalar property). Non-functional: a single observation may yield several results in different frames or granularities, and competing result claims coexist rather than collapse.


The kind(s) of observation being made — measurement, sensory reading, standpoint claim, derived inference, etc. Non-functional: an observation may be both a measurement and a derived inference (e.g. a calibrated sensor reading that is also machine-learned), and competing type classifications coexist.


The individual whose property or state is being observed — the feature of interest. The range is intentionally open (owl:Thing) because anything can be observed: a place, a person, an event, a document, a quality value, or a situation. SHACL shapes enforce closed-world constraints per observation kind.


The location whose occupancy is measured. Functional: an occupancy measurement concerns exactly one location (constitutive of the measurement's identity).


Relates a concrete event occurrence to the series that issued it; the inverse of gmeow:seriesOccurrence.


Allen OVERLAPPED-BY: inverse of gmeow:overlaps. (= time:intervalOverlappedBy; TEO overlappedBy.)


Allen OVERLAPS: this event begins before, and ends during, the related event (their extents partially overlap). NOT transitive. Inverse of gmeow:overlappedBy. (= time:intervalOverlaps; TEO overlaps.)


The authority (government body, international organization, regulatory agency, or indigenous council) that imposed this regulatory overlay. Functional: a single overlay has exactly one imposing authority.


The code or designator assigned to this regulatory overlay by its authority — an ICAO airspace identifier, a NOTAM number, a fisheries zone code, etc. Functional: the designator is constitutive of the overlay's administrative identity.


The ontic determinacy model of this regulatory overlay's boundary — crisp (surveyed), vague (approximate), fuzzy (probabilistic), or disputed. Non-functional: sources may disagree on determinacy, and those claims coexist.


The lower bound of this regulatory overlay in a vertical dimension (altitude, depth, elevation), expressed as a ScalarQuantity with unit (QUDT) and reference frame. Optional: absent for purely 2D overlays. Frame-relative per Principle 11 (e.g. altitude above MSL, flight level, depth below sea level).


The place over which this regulatory overlay applies. Functional: an overlay concerns exactly one place (constitutive of the situation's identity). The place carries the geographic geometry; the overlay carries the regulation and temporal scope.


The machine-readable rights statement (permissions, prohibitions, duties) that governs activity within this overlay. Links to the #21 rights facility by reference. Non-functional: multiple legal instruments may apply to the same overlay (e.g. national law + international treaty + local ordinance).


The kind(s) of regulatory overlay (a gmeow:RegulatoryOverlayType individual). Non-functional: a single overlay may be classified by multiple sources as different types (e.g. a zone that is both a protected area and an indigenous territory), and those claims coexist as evidence (Principle 9).


The upper bound of this regulatory overlay in a vertical dimension (altitude, depth, elevation), expressed as a ScalarQuantity with unit (QUDT) and reference frame. Optional: absent for purely 2D overlays. Frame-relative per Principle 11.


Relates a reference frame to its parent frame in a hierarchy.


The expanded form of an abbreviated part — e.g. the full word a South-Indian (Tamil) initial stands for.


Universal part-to-whole relation: relates any GMEOW thing to a larger whole it is part of. Transitive and intentionally broad; use specialized subproperties such as gmeow:containedInLocation, gmeow:subOrganizationOf, gmeow:subEventOf, gmeow:partOfThread or module-specific component properties when the kind of parthood matters. No domain/range is asserted so event, location, information-object and endurant parthood all remain possible in OWL 2 DL.


Relates a message to the thread (conversation) it belongs to. A conversation-thread specialization of the universal gmeow:partOf spine.


The 0-based position of a part within its appellation's surface order, as actually written in its culture. Records observed order WITHOUT implying a given-before-family default — East-Asian family-first is simply order 0 = surname.


The string value of a name part. Language-/script-tag the literal where applicable.


The normalized email address that appears in this participant occurrence.


The RFC 5322 group name that contains this address occurrence.


The RFC 5322 header field from which this occurrence was parsed.


The message a participant occurrence belongs to.


The zero-based position of this address occurrence.


The header or envelope role of this address occurrence.


The event a participation is part of (functional — one event per participation).


The time interval over which the participation held. (A relator carries its period this way — matching usageInterval / relationshipInterval — rather than via duringInterval.)


The entity that took part in the event in this participation. Range is gmeow:Entity (not only Agent) to admit non-agent participants — a document signed, a place visited. Non-functional: a joint role may be borne by several participants.


The role(s) the participant played, drawn from the open gmeow:ParticipantRole value vocabulary. NON-FUNCTIONAL — mirroring gmeow:eventType: a participation may bear several roles, and competing standpoint-indexed role claims coexist (accordingTo) rather than contradict (Principle 9). Generalizes the former hasPrincipal / hasWitness / hasOfficiant subproperties.


The SensoryEnvironment that a SensoryPerception is about — the observedFeature of the claim. Domain is gmeow:Observation so it applies to any observation subclass; the shape narrows to SensoryPerception instances.


The sensory modality of a SensoryPerception — the channel through which the perception was made.


The transitive inverse of gmeow:periodPartOf.


The instant at which a named period ends.


Relates a named period to a larger named period that contains it (e.g. Holocene ⊂ Quaternary ⊂ Cenozoic). Transitive.


The instant at which a named period begins. Functional nature removed because the property chain below makes periodStart non-simple, and OWL 2 DL forbids non-simple properties in functional axioms (Principle 8). Closed-world single-valuedness lives in SHACL (NamedPeriodShape).


The kind(s) of a named period. Non-functional: competing classifications coexist.


The geographic place where a storage location's device physically sits (e.g. the room holding a disk). Absent for purely cloud storage.


Rotation about the lateral (typically y) axis, in degrees or radians as indicated by the reference frame.


The ontic determinacy model of a place's existence or boundary — crisp, vague, fuzzy, probabilistic, or disputed. Non-functional: in a multi-source merge, sources may state different determinacy models, and those claims coexist.


Links a place to the place that replaced it — Constantinople placeSupersededBy Istanbul, a merged municipality placeSupersededBy its successor. Directional. The superseded place is retained (never deleted) and may carry gmeow:displayable false.


Links a newer place to a prior one it supersedes. Inverse of gmeow:placeSupersededBy. Non-functional: one successor may consolidate several predecessors.


The kind(s) of a place (one or more gmeow:PlaceType individuals). Non-functional: multi-source classifications may differ (a place that is both 'city' and 'administrative area') and must coexist as evidence.


An Open Location Code (Plus Code) — a geocoding system using alphanumeric codes to identify any location on Earth (e.g. '9F4W9C8C+W4').


The coordinate reference frame in which the pose position and orientation are expressed.


The post-office-box coordinate value of a postal address, expressed along the gmeow:axisPostOfficeBox axis of the postal reference frame.


The postal/administrative reference frame in which this address is expressed. Functional: an address is expressed in exactly one frame. The default is gmeow:referenceFramePostalAddress.


The postal/ZIP code coordinate value of a postal address, expressed along the gmeow:axisPostalCode axis of the postal reference frame.


A short plain-text preview/snippet of a message's body.


The agent whose proficiency a language-proficiency expresses. Functional — constitutive of the proficiency.


The interval over which a language-proficiency held (proficiency changes over a life). Lighter cases use gmeow:validFrom/validUntil on the statement.


The language a language-proficiency concerns. Functional — constitutive.


The attained level of a language-proficiency (a gmeow:ProficiencyLevel value, e.g. cefrB2, levelNative). Functional.


The skill modality a language-proficiency rates (speaking, listening, reading, writing, signing, comprehension, overall) — a gmeow:ProficiencyModality value. Functional: mint one proficiency per (agent, language, modality) so per-skill levels coexist.


The framework/scale a proficiency level is measured on (CEFR, ILR, ACTFL, self-reported) — a gmeow:ProficiencyScale value. Functional.


The class of entities to which this Profile applies.


A property that is part of this Profile's closed descriptor schema.


An open value-vocabulary class (instances are individuals, never subclasses) used by this Profile.


The object (accusative) form of a pronoun set, e.g. "her", "them", "xem".


The possessive pronoun form of a pronoun set, e.g. "hers", "theirs", "xyrs".


The possessive determiner form of a pronoun set, e.g. "her", "their", "xyr".


The reflexive form of a pronoun set, e.g. "herself", "themself", "xemself".


The subject (nominative) form of a pronoun set, e.g. "she", "they", "xe".


Links an entity to a proximity measurement describing its distance or dissimilarity to another entity. The measurement carries the scalar value (via observationResult → ScalarQuantity), the reference frame (via hasReferenceFrame), and the target entity (via proximityTo). Flat form for the common case; promote to full reified Measurement when vantage, confidence, temporal scope, or standpoint matter.


The target entity to which proximity is measured. Functional: a different target entity is a different proximity measurement (constitutive of the relator's identity).


The quality dimension under which this assessment is made. Non-functional: a single assessment may cover several dimensions (e.g. a report that evaluates both positional accuracy and completeness), and competing dimension classifications coexist rather than collapse (Principle 9).


The uncertainty (e.g. ±1 sigma) of a scalar quantity, in the same unit as the quantity value.


The w (scalar) component of a unit quaternion representing orientation.


The x component of a unit quaternion representing orientation.


The y component of a unit quaternion representing orientation.


The z component of a unit quaternion representing orientation.


The raw, unparsed header segment or envelope value for this occurrence.


RCC-8: Disconnected (DC) — regions are disjoint and do not share any point.


RCC-8: Externally Connected (EC) — regions share only boundary points.


RCC-8: Equal (EQ) — regions are identical.


RCC-8: Non-Tangential Proper Part (NTPP) — region is a proper part of another, entirely within its interior.


RCC-8: Non-Tangential Proper Part Inverse (NTPPi) — inverse of NTPP.


RCC-8: Partial Overlap (PO) — regions overlap but neither is part of the other.


RCC-8: Tangential Proper Part (TPP) — region is a proper part of another, sharing part of its boundary.


RCC-8: Tangential Proper Part Inverse (TPPi) — inverse of TPP.


When a message was received by the storing system (JMAP receivedAt / Gmail internalDate).


A DERIVED upper bound (terminus ante quem) on when the annotated claim was committed to a record — typically taken from the modification time of its source carrier (gmeow:sourceModifiedAt) when no stronger observation time is known. Carries low gmeow:confidence; it is neither valid-time nor a point observation. Populate it in the importer/query layer, not by OWL inference.


The recurrence rule as an RFC 5545 RRULE string (e.g. FREQ=WEEKLY;BYDAY=MO). Projected directly to iCalendar RRULE; a SET-typed TIMEX3 in ISO-TimeML.


The cadastral registry, land titles office, or surveying authority that issued this reference. Functional: a single reference has exactly one issuing authority.


The jurisdiction (country, state, province, or territory) under whose legal framework this cadastral reference is valid. Functional: a single reference has exactly one governing jurisdiction.


The kind of cadastral reference (parcel ID, folio number, title number, lot number, survey plan reference, etc.). Non-functional: a single reference may be classified by multiple sources as different types.


Exactly one identifier string of the cadastral reference (e.g. 'Lot 42, Plan 12345', 'Folio 67890', 'Title No. ABCD-1234'). Functional: a single CadastralReference has exactly one reference value.


Relates a message to an earlier message in its reference chain (RFC 5322 References).


The registry registration number of a trademark (e.g. a CIPO / USPTO / WIPO number).


A tag related to this tag by an associative link. Symmetric. Optional.


Relates a narrative reference frame to another narrative reference frame with which it stands in a relationship (the nature of which is given by gmeow:hasNarrativeFrameRelation). Non-functional: a frame may relate to many others, and competing relation claims coexist. Flat shortcut; promote to gmeow:NarrativeFrameLink when the binding between source, target, and relation type must be explicit.


The child in a reified parent-child relationship.


The time interval over which an interpersonal relationship held. (A relator carries its period this way rather than via duringInterval, which is reserved for gufo:Situation-based time-scoped relations.)


The parent in a reified parent-child relationship.


An agent who is one of the parties to an interpersonal relationship. Non-functional: a relationship typically binds two parties (and is left open for group ties).


The server timestamp recorded for a relay hop.


The host a relay hop received the message from.


The protocol used for a relay hop (e.g. ESMTP, ESMTPS).


An address to which replies should be sent (RFC 5322 Reply-To).


Asserts whether a reference frame requires a hosting entity to exist.


The mailbox a mailbox-residence concerns.


The message a mailbox-residence concerns.


Relates a message to a mailbox/label it currently resides in. Time-varying residence is reified as gmeow:MailboxResidence; on this convenience property the period may be carried with gmeow:validFrom/validUntil.


Right ascension in degrees (0–360). Frame-relative: the meaning depends on the coordinateFrame (ICRS, FK5, etc.).


The value an atomic constraint tests against (odrl:rightOperand), e.g. "2030-01-01", "EU", "5". For an IRI-valued operand use gmeow:rightOperandReference.


An IRI-valued right operand (odrl:rightOperandReference) — e.g. a place, party, or vocabulary individual the constraint tests against.


The kind(s) of intellectual-property right a statement concerns — one of the open gmeow:RightsType values (copyright, trademark, patent, industrial design, trade secret, related rights, moral rights, database right, plant breeders' rights). Non-functional: a statement may span several.


Rotation about the longitudinal (typically x) axis, in degrees or radians as indicated by the reference frame.


A Latin-script transliteration of THIS SAME appellation in another script (e.g. "Yamada Tarō" for "山田太郎"; pinyin for a Chinese name). Strictly a transliteration of one name — it NEVER bridges two distinct co-equal names (a Mandarin name is not the romanization of a Latin one).


The gmeow:RomanticOrientationValue a romantic-orientation facet asserts (functional per facet). A predefined individual or a fresh one with rdfs:label; the single path to the value.


The kind of a route (a RouteKind individual).


An intermediate point that a route passes through. The order of via points is computed by the solver layer (Principle 12), not asserted in the OWL core.


The regulated action of a rule — one of the open gmeow:RightsAction values (odrl:action). Functional: a rule regulates exactly one action; several actions are several rules.


The party a rule applies to (odrl:assignee). Absent means the rule applies to everyone (an open offer to the public).


A duty triggered when a rule is unfulfilled or violated — the ODRL consequence (on a duty) / remedy (on a prohibition). The deontic chaining that makes a policy enforceable.


Relates a rule to a constraint that conditions it (odrl:constraint). A permission/prohibition/duty holds only when all its constraints are satisfied.


The asset a rule regulates (odrl:target). Optional; absent when the rule inherits its target from the enclosing rights statement's gmeow:statementAbout.


The ISO 15924 script code of a writing system ("Latn", "Hani", "Hira", "Kana", "Arab", "Brai") when one exists, else a bespoke identifier for a conlang/AI script with no registered code. The bridge for names' gmeow:nameScript literals to resolve to a first-class WritingSystem. Non-functional.


The functional role a writing system plays for a language in a usage (a gmeow:ScriptRole value). Functional: one role per usage — a script playing two roles is two usages.


The interval over which a writing-system-usage held — e.g. Turkish-in-Arabic-script until 1928. A relator carries its period this way (matching names' NameUsage); lighter cases use gmeow:validFrom/validUntil on the statement. (Distinct from the names module's gmeow:usageInterval, which scopes a NameUsage.)


Whether an identity facet was asserted by the person themselves (true — the top authority) rather than recorded or inferred by a third party (false). Non-functional: a multi-source merge may carry both a self-assertion and a third-party record, which coexist rather than force a contradiction.


The transmitting address of a message, where different from the author (RFC 5322 Sender).


The sensory channel(s) through which this environment is measured or perceived. Non-functional: a single environment may span multiple modalities (e.g. a space that is both thermally and acoustically characterised), and competing modality classifications coexist.


When a message was sent (RFC 5322 Date).


The 1-based inclusive end position of a feature on a biological sequence. Frame-relative: the meaning depends on the inReferenceAssembly (Principle 11).


The kind(s) of a sequence feature (one or more gmeow:SequenceFeatureType individuals). Non-functional: multi-source classifications may differ (a feature classified as both 'gene' and 'pseudogene' by different sources) and must coexist as evidence (Principle 9).


The 1-based inclusive start position of a feature on a biological sequence. Frame-relative: the meaning depends on the inReferenceAssembly (Principle 11).


The strand orientation of a feature on a double-stranded biological sequence.


Relates an event series to one of the concrete event occurrences it issues.


The sex recorded for a person at birth (a gmeow:SexAssignedAtBirth value) — a RECORDED administrative datum, NOT a self-asserted identity and NOT a gufo IdentityFacet. Deliberately separate from gender identity/expression, which it never implies and is never implied by. Non-functional: a correction and a prior record coexist rather than contradict.


The gmeow:SexualOrientationValue a sexual-orientation facet asserts (functional per facet). A predefined individual or a fresh one with rdfs:label; the single path to the value.


S1 sharpens S2: every precisification S1 admits is also admitted by S2, so S1 is the more specific frame (the standpoint ⊆ / refinement relation of Standpoint Logic; CKR's coverage relation). Transitive. Every standpoint sharpens gmeow:universalStandpoint.


The algorithm used for a signature (e.g. rsa-sha256, ed25519).


The entity, attestation, or artifact that a cryptographic signature is over — the inverse of gmeow:hasSignature.


The blockchain address recovered from a signature's recovery data. Domain-free: may apply to CryptographicSignature or BlockchainAccount.


The agent (or signing identity) that produced a signature.


The domain asserted by a signature (e.g. the DKIM d= tag).


The cryptographic key that produced a signature (the trust module's CryptographicKey). Complements gmeow:signedBy: signedBy gives the identity, signingKey gives the key — the pair a gmeow:Certification attests.


The estimated size of a message in octets.


Relates a creative work (a BookRelease, SerialInstallment, film, game, or other out-of-universe artifact) to the narrative reference frame it contributes to, witnesses, revises, or serves as a source for. Non-functional: a work may source several frames, and a frame may have many sources. The specific role (source, witness, revision, adaptation) is carried by gmeow:accordingTo on the claim or by a reified relator when needed.


Where the source artifact came from — a file path, original filename, or URL. Provenance/audit only; carries no reliable identity.


The last-modification time of the source artifact itself (e.g. a file mtime). A terminus-ante-quem on the recording of the claims this source carries — NOT valid-time (tenure) and NOT observation-time. Advisory and resettable; the reliable identity is gmeow:contentDigest. NOT functional: because a source is identified by its content digest, copies/syncs of the same bytes may legitimately report different modification times, which must coexist rather than force an inconsistency.


The entity whose spatial property is being measured — the observedFeature of a spatial measurement. Subproperty of gmeow:observedFeature so generic consumers can query all observations without knowing the domain.


Relates a location to another location it is spatially or topologically traversable to — a road segment, a network link, a portal, or a transit stop connection. Symmetric: the link can be traversed in either direction. A specialization of the universal gmeow:connectsTo spine. Distinct from gmeow:adjacentTo (RCC-8 EC: touching but not necessarily traversable) and from gmeow:containedInLocation (mereological containment).


The SPDX License List short identifier of a licence — the canonical machine-readable licence id (e.g. "MIT", "Apache-2.0", "CC-BY-4.0", "GPL-3.0-only"). The bridge to the SPDX / SBOM world (spdx:licenseId); the SPDX List also assigns each id a stable IRI under http://spdx.org/licenses/. Functional: a licence has one canonical SPDX id (a compound choice is an SPDX licence expression in the same literal).


The full SPDX License List name of a licence (spdx:name), e.g. "Apache License 2.0".


The StandpointClaim observation that a StandpointTenure generates — the reified observation of the tenure's time-scoped fact. The tenure is the time-scoped situation; the claim is the observation of that fact. Functional: a tenure generates exactly one claim.


The belief value a standpoint assigns the annotated proposition — *how* the standpoint holds it, not merely *that* it holds it. This single axis is at least as expressive as BOTH the Standpoint-Logic modal operators (□_S / ◊_S) AND the CRMinf belief value (true / false / probable / possible): gmeow:unequivocal (□, settled true), gmeow:probable (likely true), gmeow:conceivable (◊, possible), gmeow:refuted (□¬, settled false — the standpoint DENIES the proposition). Optional; ABSENT is read as unequivocal. Orthogonal to gmeow:confidence (our certainty about the standpoint's stance) and gmeow:accordingTo (whose frame). Refutation is what lets GMEOW distinguish a standpoint's explicit denial from its silence — the neutral-stance ambiguity flat models cannot resolve.


The instant at which a time interval begins.


Allen STARTED-BY: inverse of gmeow:starts. (= time:intervalStartedBy; TimeML BEGUN_BY; TEO startedBy.)


Allen STARTS: this event and the related event begin together, and this one ends first (it is an initial sub-span). NOT transitive. Inverse of gmeow:startedBy. (= time:intervalStarts; TimeML BEGINS; TEO starts.)


The instant at which this point-like location state holds. For interval-scoped states, use gmeow:stateDuringInterval instead.


The time interval over which this location state holds. For point-like states (a single instant), use gmeow:stateAtInstant instead.


The angular velocity of the entity at this location state, expressed as a scalar quantity (value + unit) in the state's reference frame. Non-functional: competing readings coexist (Principle 9).


The linear velocity of the entity at this location state, expressed as a scalar quantity (value + unit) in the state's reference frame. Non-functional: competing velocity readings from different sensors coexist (Principle 9).


The entity whose location state this is — the moving feature whose presence, pose, and velocity are described by this state. Functional: a state belongs to exactly one entity.


The coordinate reference frame in which this location state's pose and velocity are expressed. Functional: a state is expressed in exactly one frame; nested-frame transformations (e.g. satellite relative to ship) are computed by the solver layer (Principle 12).


The asset a rights statement governs — the ODRL target. Usually the inverse of gmeow:hasRightsStatement; asserted on the relator so the statement is self-contained.


The medium of a storage location (a gmeow:StorageMedium individual). Functional: the medium is constitutive of the storage location (a different medium is a different store) — unlike the descriptive, multi-source gmeow:placeType.


The path, key, or URI of a storage location within its service.


The service or system hosting a storage location (e.g. "Google Drive", "AWS S3", "local").


Relates a digital object (e.g. a document or import source) to the storage location where its bytes reside — the structured form of a source's location.


The time interval over which the stream was produced. Functional: the interval is constitutive of the stream's identity.


The entity whose observations the stream contains — the moving feature, device, or thing being tracked. Functional: a stream belongs to exactly one entity.


The platform hosting the sensor(s) producing this stream — a vehicle, vessel, aircraft, buoy, or fixed station. Non-functional: a stream may migrate across platforms over its lifetime (e.g. a device handed from one drone to another).


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).


The specific sensor or agent producing the stream. Non-functional: multiple sensors may contribute to one stream, and competing sensor claims coexist (Principle 9).


The street-address coordinate value of a postal address, expressed along the gmeow:axisStreetAddress axis of the postal reference frame.


Relates an event to a larger event it is part of — a talk within a session within a conference. Transitive: a part of a part is a part (CIDOC-CRM P9 consists of). A specialization of the universal gmeow:partOf spine. Non-simple, so kept out of all cardinality axioms.


Relates an organization to a larger organization it is part of — a department or division within a company, a team within a department. Transitive (a team is part of the company through its division). A specialization of the universal gmeow:partOf spine. A department is thus a first-class gmeow:Organization, and a gmeow:Membership may target it directly. The 'department' field is the sub-organization a person's membership is in.


The subject line of a message (RFC 5322 Subject).


Links an entity to the entity that replaced it — Constantinople supersededBy Istanbul, the Soviet Union supersededBy the Russian Federation, a deprecated software release supersededBy its successor. Directional, NOT symmetric. The superseded entity is retained (never deleted) and may carry gmeow:displayable false.


Relates a newer entity, version, record, or claim-bearing artifact to a prior one it supersedes. Non-functional: one successor may consolidate several predecessors. Superseded entities remain first-class and usable; suppression from display is handled separately with gmeow:displayable false when appropriate.


Relates a tag to a scheme it belongs to. Non-functional: a tag may reside in many schemes (cross-listing).


The time interval over which the tagging act holds. A relator carries its period this way (matching gmeow:usageInterval, gmeow:relationshipInterval) rather than via RDF-star annotations on the relator node.


The tag scheme within which the tagging act is performed. Functional per relator: one scheme per Tagging (the tag itself may belong to multiple schemes).


The tag applied in a tagging act. Functional per relator: one tag per Tagging.


The entity that is tagged in a tagging act. Functional per relator: one tagged entity per Tagging.


The agent who performed the tagging act. Non-functional: a tag may be co-asserted by multiple agents (e.g. a collaborative curation effort).


A telephone number at which an agent can be reached.


The granularity to which an event's time is known — a gmeow:TemporalPrecision value (day / month / year / decade / circa). Makes the determinacy of a date explicit instead of pretending every date is to-the-day.


The ontic determinacy model of this land tenure's boundary or claim — crisp (surveyed), vague (approximate), fuzzy (probabilistic), or disputed. Non-functional: sources may disagree on determinacy, and those claims coexist.


The party (person, corporation, indigenous community, or other agent) that holds the rights recorded by this LandTenure. Functional: a single tenure has exactly one party. Joint ownership is modelled as multiple co-equal LandTenure instances, none privileged (Principle 9).


The place (parcel, lot, or spatial unit) over which the rights of this LandTenure apply. Functional: a tenure concerns exactly one place (constitutive of the situation's identity).


The standpoint-indexed claim the tenure says the standpoint held over its interval — a reified statement (a gmeow:StatementMetadata cell in the statement DSL). The range is intentionally left open: the statement-DSL spec layer is not part of the reasoned import closure, so asserting it as rdfs:range would dangle in the merged graph. When a StandpointTenure generates a StandpointClaim observation, the tenurePosition becomes the observedFeature of the claim.


The machine-readable rights statement (permissions, prohibitions, duties) that governs this land tenure. Links to the #21 rights facility by reference. Non-functional: multiple legal instruments may apply to the same tenure (e.g. national law + local ordinance + indigenous treaty).


The standpoint whose position a standpoint-tenure records. When a StandpointTenure generates a StandpointClaim observation, the tenureStandpoint becomes the vantage of the claim.


The kind(s) of land tenure (a gmeow:LandTenureType individual). Non-functional: a single tenure may be classified by multiple sources as different types, and those claims coexist as evidence (Principle 9).


The contact point an address-tenure concerns.


The writing direction(s) of a writing system (gmeow:TextDirection values). Non-functional — Japanese is both vertical-rtl and ltr.


An IANA time-zone identifier for a location (e.g. "America/Edmonton"). Non-functional: a large place may span several zones.


A primary recipient address of a message (RFC 5322 To).


The agent that holds a trademark (the proprietor). A specialisation of gmeow:wasAttributedTo. Non-functional: a mark may be jointly held.


The mark a trademark protects. Functional.


The status of a trademark — one of the gmeow:TrademarkStatus values (unregistered ™ / registered ® / pending / expired / cancelled). Functional.


The entity whose space-time path this trajectory describes. Functional: a trajectory belongs to exactly one entity.


The coordinate reference frame in which this trajectory's samples are expressed. Functional: a trajectory is expressed in exactly one frame; frame transformation is a solver concern (Principle 12).


Relates a reference frame to another frame it can be mathematically transformed to.


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.


A transparency log entry associated with an attestation. Non-functional: an attestation may have entries in multiple logs.


The degree of owner-trust expressed: ultimate, full, marginal, or none.


The agent that is trusted by the trustor in a trust-assertion.


The agent whose (subjective) trust a trust-assertion expresses — the perspective holder.


A UN/LOCODE — a five-character code identifying transport-related locations (ports, airports, rail terminals) worldwide (e.g. 'GBLHR').


The appellation used to call the named entity in a name-usage.


The audience or scope in which the appellation is used — an Agent, a Group/Family, or a locale community. Range is gmeow:Entity to admit all of them. Non-functional. ('Aunt Genny' is used toward the family; 欧德理 toward a Sinophone audience.)


The naming / toponymic authority behind a name-usage — the gmeow:Agent (a national mapping agency, a standards body, an indigenous community, or a self-asserting individual) that confers or sanctions the appellation in this use. NON-FUNCTIONAL: joint or competing authorities coexist with no privileged claimant (anti-colonial, Principle 9), each attributable and confidence-weighted. (Introduced as namingAuthority by issue #105; named usageAuthority for usage* consistency.)


Human-readable supplementary usage / licensing information (schema:usageInfo).


The time interval over which a name-usage held. (A relator carries its period this way — matching contacts' relationshipInterval — rather than via duringInterval.)


The language that uses the writing system in a writing-system-usage. Functional — constitutive of the usage (a usage binds exactly one language).


The entity that is called by the appellation in a name-usage.


An agent who uses the appellation for the named entity — the speaker/perspective holder. Non-functional: a usage may be shared by an audience of agents.


The social register of a name-usage (formal, intimate, professional, casual) — a gmeow:NameRegister value individual.


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.


The writing system used by the language in a writing-system-usage. Functional — constitutive of the usage.


Relates a language to a writing system it is written in — the direct relation. Non-functional and CO-EQUAL: Japanese uses Han, Hiragana, Katakana and Latin simultaneously, none primary. When role or period matter, reify the binding as gmeow:WritingSystemUsage.


The location whose utilization is measured. Functional: a utilization measurement concerns exactly one location (constitutive of the measurement's identity).


The instant from which the annotated statement is asserted to hold.


The instant until which the annotated statement is asserted to hold.
