Availability Status

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

The availability state of an agent over a time slot — a VALUE vocabulary aligned to iCalendar VFREEBUSY, never a subclass.

Structure

Subclass of: gufo:QualityValue

Practical Pattern

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

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use as the value vocabulary gmeow:availabilityStatus ranges over — the iCalendar FBTYPE states (free, busy, tentative, out-of-office) an availability declares.

Avoid when

• Avoid modelling these as Availability subclasses; the state is an individual on this axis, extended by minting new individuals (Principle 9).

How to use

• Reference a seeded individual (gmeow:availabilityStatusFree, …) from gmeow:availabilityStatus; add a new individual if a further free-busy state is needed.

Examples

• ex:lillithBusy gmeow:availabilityStatus gmeow:availabilityStatusBusy.
