Creative Work

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

The abstract umbrella category for intellectual and artistic creations in the WEMI spine — a Work, Expression, Manifestation, or Item. Formerly a flat gufo:Kind (pre-WEMI spine); now a Category so that the four tiers with distinct identity criteria can each be a gufo:Kind beneath it.

Structure

Subclass of: gmeow:InformationObject, gmeow:NarrativeScope

Practical Pattern

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

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use as the WEMI umbrella when a fact ranges over any tier of an intellectual or artistic creation — title, identifier, date — and the specific Work/Expression/Manifestation/Item tier is not yet fixed; it is the domain of the bibliographic date and description properties.

Avoid when

• Avoid typing an instance as a bare gmeow:CreativeWork when its WEMI tier is known (use gmeow:Work, gmeow:Manifestation, …), and avoid it for the real-world subject the work is about (that is a separate gmeow:Entity reached by aboutness).

How to use

• Type the creation at its most specific WEMI tier and let it inherit CreativeWork; attach gmeow:hasTitle (or the flat gmeow:title), gmeow:identifier, and the bibliographic dates here, separating the carrier from its subject via the kernel aboutness construct.

Examples

• ex:novel a gmeow:CreativeWork; gmeow:hasTitle ex:novelTitle; gmeow:datePublished "1851-11-14T00:00:00Z"^^xsd:dateTime.
