- Category: class
- Defined by:
gmeow:slices/citations - Box roles: TBox role (What is this?)
The degree or weight of a contribution — a VALUE vocabulary (individuals, never subclasses) characterizing a gmeow:Contribution. Lead, equal, and supporting are the canonical seeds; the set is open.
Structure
Subclass of: gufo:QualityValue
Practical Pattern
Use gmeow:ContributionDegree 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 open value vocabulary for the weight of a credit — lead, equal, or supporting — characterizing a
gmeow:Contributionand projecting to CRediT degree qualifiers.
Avoid when
- Avoid minting a subclass for a new degree (degrees are individuals on an open vocabulary) and avoid using it for the CITATION's purpose (that is
gmeow:CitationIntent); degree weights credit, intent types citation.
How to use
- Reference a seeded gmeow:degree* individual from a contribution's degree property; extend by minting a new individual with rdfs:label and skos:definition, mapped to a CRediT degree by reference.
