An appellation borne by an agreement — a formal title, short name, or multilingual version of a contract or legal instrument. Carries its own gmeow:nameLanguage and gmeow:nameScript so co-equal multilingual names are separate first-class objects.

# Worked example: an agreement as a relator. A gmeow:Agreement (here a
# gmeow:Contract, the legally-enforceable specialization) is a gufo:Relator that
# binds its parties via gmeow:hasParty — the agreement IS the relationship, not a
# property of either party. It bears a structured gmeow:AgreementName (an
# Appellation, so multilingual co-equal titles are first-class). Other relators
# can be gmeow:foundedOn it: the employment Membership below exists BECAUSE of the
# contract, so its grounding is recorded rather than assumed.

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to name an agreement as a first-class appellation — a formal title, short name, or one of several co-equal multilingual versions of a contract or legal instrument.

Avoid when

• Avoid folding the title into a bare label on the Agreement when language or script matters, and avoid privileging one multilingual version over its co-equal siblings; each name is its own object with its own gmeow:nameLanguage and gmeow:nameScript.

How to use

• Mint one AgreementName per co-equal title, set gmeow:nameLanguage and gmeow:nameScript on each, and attach them to the agreement through the appellation-bearing construct rather than as a single privileged string.

Examples

• ex:nafta a gmeow:AgreementName; gmeow:nameLanguage ex:english.
