Content Segment Type

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

The structural type of a content segment — a VALUE vocabulary (individuals, never subclasses). Chapter, section, scene, and paragraph are examples; the set is open.

Structure

Subclass of: gufo:QualityValue

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:ContentSegmentType 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 for the segment-kind axis — the open set of individuals (chapter, section, scene, paragraph, front matter, …) that gmeow:segmentType draws from; mint a fresh individual for a kind not seeded.

Avoid when

• Avoid minting a segment-kind SUBCLASS of gmeow:ContentSegment (Principle 9 — no overtyping); a new kind is always a fresh gmeow:ContentSegmentType individual, never a class.

How to use

• Add a new kind as a gmeow:ContentSegmentType individual with rdfs:label and skos:definition; reference it from a segment via the functional gmeow:segmentType.

Examples

• ex:segmentTypeAct a gmeow:ContentSegmentType; rdfs:label "act"@en.
