Build Activity

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

A software build process that transforms source code into one or more distribution artifacts. The build activity consumes a commit or repository and produces a concrete distribution (tarball, wheel, binary, container image). Aligned to SLSA provenance buildType and PROV-O Activity by reference.

Structure

Subclass of: gmeow:Activity

Practical Pattern

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

# Worked example: a commit DAG with identity canonicalization and build provenance
# Commits form a directed graph via gmeow:commitAncestor. Each commit's
# author is recorded as a gmeow:AuthorIdentity — the as-committed git identity
# (one of possibly many emails) — which gmeow:canonicalizedIdentity resolves to
# the real gmeow:Agent, so "same person, three git emails" is one agent without
# rewriting history. A gmeow:BuildActivity ties a source commit (gmeow:buildSource)
# to the gmeow:Distribution it produced (gmeow:buildOutput): verifiable provenance
# from source to artifact.
