GMEOW 本体
GMEOW(Global Metadata and Entity Ontology for the Web,面向万维网的全球元数据与实体本体)是一份以推理为核心、符合 OWL 2 DL、上层本体奠基的超级词汇表。它统一文档元数据、实体描述、法律协议、联系人资料、以人为中心的数据,以及科学观测与测量;其位置、观测与数量主干可描述从联系人卡片到基因、恒星与 n 维数学对象的事实。
其规范 IRI 是 https://blackcatinformatics.ca/gmeow。本站以 Apache 发布 HTML、四种规范 RDF 序列化、推理闭包、映射、投影示例、术语导出、VoID/DCAT 元数据、JSON-LD context 与 pyLODE 术语参考;若源码构建了 WIDOCO 文档,也会随快照发布。

核心差异
| 陈述级出处 | GMEOW 以 RDF 1.2 / RDF-star 为先:事实是带出处、置信度与时间范围的声明,并可无损下投为 OWL 公理注解供推理器使用。 |
|---|---|
| 争议事实 | 相互冲突的事实以立场索引的声明并存;模型不会把它们折叠成首选、排名最高或最新的单一值。 |
| 身份与显示安全 | 姓名、称谓、代词、性别与取向被重述为共等、自我声明、上下文相关的事实;没有 primaryName 或 preferredGender,旧名会被抑制显示而不是删除。 |
模块
README 中的当前稳定基础覆盖 37 个已建模、对齐并经过推理的模块;每个类都落位于 gUFO 基础范畴之下,并扩展到位置、时间、事件、观测、数量、数据质量与跨领域参照框架。
| 模块组 | 涵盖范围 |
|---|---|
| Identity | entities, names, gender, sexuality, languages — self-asserted identity, naming, display safety, registry-independent language and script modelling. |
| Social & contact | genealogy, organization, contacts, email, accounts — relationships, organizations, online accounts, mailbox structure and contact channels. |
| Content & evidence | documents, sources, software — creative works, datasets, code, citations and source-backed claims. |
| Trust & crypto | trust, messaging-trust — keys, certifications, owner-trust, message authentication and cryptographic signatures. |
| Skills & legal | expertise, agreements, rights — skills, credentials, contracts, licences, ODRL-style permissions, prohibitions and duties. |
| Place, time & events | places, temporal, events — locations, time intervals, participation, life events and Location as a universal reference-frame spanning 13+ realms. |
| Epistemics & measurement | provenance, standpoint, observation — attributed claims, confidence, standpoint modality, contested facts, SOSA/SensorThings-style observation and QUDT quantities. |
| Cross-cutting foundations | frame-relativity, determinacy, granularity, privacy, accessibility, aggregation, quality, attestation — overlays and constraints shared across domains. |
对齐
GMEOW 并不取代既有词汇,而是与之对齐:SSSOM、EDOAL、FnO 与 SPARQL 投影工件均由同一个映射 DSL 生成,把 GMEOW 的词项连接到外部标准,从而既可独立推理,又能与外部数据集互操作。
对齐目标包括: FOAF, schema.org, REL, DOAP, PROV-O, ORG, OntoLex-Lemon, BIO, vCard, BIBO, Wikidata, BFO, GeoNames.
映射以 SSSOM 表(mappings/)维护,并编译为 gmeow-alignments.ttl;跨数据集 owl:sameAs 链接见 gmeow-linksets.ttl.

Apache 发布布局
BII 的 Apache 配置将 /gmeow 作为斜杠命名空间本体 IRI 发布。浏览器得到本 HTML 页面;请求 RDF 媒体类型的客户端收到 303 See Other 到对应序列化。响应还为 RDF 工件设置媒体类型、为本体资源开放 CORS,并在可协商端点上设置 Vary: Accept 与 Cache-Control: private, no-store。
| Request | Apache result |
|---|---|
GET /gmeow with Accept: text/html or browser default | HTML landing page at /gmeow/. |
Accept: text/turtle or application/x-turtle | 303 to /gmeow.ttl. |
Accept: application/rdf+xml | 303 to /gmeow.rdf. |
Accept: application/n-triples | 303 to /gmeow.nt. |
Accept: application/ld+json | 303 to /gmeow.jsonld. |
GET /gmeow/Person or another bare term IRI | 303 to /gmeow/reference.html#Person. |
推理与校验
GMEOW 的逻辑 TBox 刻意保持在 OWL 2 DL 之内,因此可判定推理器适用。流水线先合并 import closure,再执行 OWL 2 DL profile 检查、ELK 一致性、发布级 HermiT 闭包、SHACL 完整性形状、基于蕴涵的能力测试,以及 RDF 1.2 / RDF-star 陈述工件与 OWL 公理注解下投之间的无漂移检查。

逐类、逐属性的参考文档(由 pyLODE 生成)见 /gmeow/reference.html. 每个词项 IRI(如 …/gmeow/Person)都会解析到该文档中的对应锚点。源码、贡献指南与发布历史见 GitHub 仓库。
