Criterion Domain

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

The subject domain of a criterion — an OPEN value vocabulary (relational, factual, aesthetic, safety, stylistic, …). Open: evaluation traditions disagree about the domain inventory itself (Principle 9).

Structure

Subclass of: gufo:QualityValue

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:CriterionDomain 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 criterion-subject-domain axis — the seeded domains (relational, factual, aesthetic, safety, stylistic) a criterion declares via gmeow:criterionDomain.

Avoid when

• Avoid minting per-domain subclasses (domains are individuals) and avoid treating the inventory as closed — evaluation traditions disagree about the domain list itself (Principle 9).

How to use

• Reference the seeded domain individuals from a criterion; extend the axis for a new evaluation tradition by minting a fresh gmeow:CriterionDomain individual rather than a subclass.
