• Category: class
• Defined by: gmeow:slices/creative-works
• Box roles: TBox role (What is this?)

The kind of a creative work — a VALUE vocabulary (individuals, never subclasses) characterizing a gmeow:Work. Literary, musical, visual, and software are examples; the set is open.

Structure

Subclass of: gufo:QualityValue

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:CreativeWorkType 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 characterizing a Work's kind — literary, musical, visual, software, dataset; an open set of individuals.

Avoid when

• Avoid minting per-kind subclasses of Work (Principle 9 — the kind is a value, not a subclass) and avoid conflating it with manifestation format (gmeow:ManifestationFormat) or genre (gmeow:Genre).

How to use

• Reference a seeded gmeow:CreativeWorkType individual from a Work; extend with new individuals (not subclasses) when a domain needs a finer kind.

Examples

• gmeow:workTypeLiterary a gmeow:CreativeWorkType.
