Activity

• CURIE: gmeow:Activity
• IRI: https://blackcatinformatics.ca/gmeow/Activity
• Category: class
• Defined by: gmeow:slices/provenance
• Box roles: CBox role, TBox role (What is this?)

Something that occurs over a period of time and acts upon or with entities — creating, transforming, using, or attributing them. The provenance-layer specialization of gmeow:Event: the occurrent that gmeow:wasGeneratedBy points to and that gmeow:wasAssociatedWith ties to its performing agent.

Structure

Subclass of: gmeow:Event

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:Activity as a specialized kind of gmeow:Event. Add statement metadata or a standpoint when the assertion needs provenance, confidence, or vantage.

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use as the occurrent that produced, transformed, used, or attributed an entity — the activity end of gmeow:wasGeneratedBy and the domain of gmeow:wasAssociatedWith.

Avoid when

• Avoid for the enduring product of the activity (that is a gmeow:Entity reached via gmeow:wasGeneratedBy) and for a generic happening with no provenance role; use gmeow:Event directly when no agent, generation, or attribution is at stake.

How to use

• Type the occurrent as gmeow:Activity (or a specialization such as gmeow:ImportActivity), link its performer with gmeow:wasAssociatedWith and its products with the inverse of gmeow:wasGeneratedBy; carry the time the activity occurred on the event, and statement-level confidence on the derivation claims it produces.

Examples

• ex:import2026 a gmeow:Activity; gmeow:wasAssociatedWith ex:vcardImporter.
