Structure
Subclass of: gmeow:InformationObject
Practical Pattern
Use gmeow:Distribution as a specialized kind of gmeow:InformationObject. Add statement metadata or a standpoint when the assertion needs provenance, confidence, or vantage.

# Worked example: a commit DAG with identity canonicalization and build provenance
# Commits form a directed graph via gmeow:commitAncestor. Each commit's
# author is recorded as a gmeow:AuthorIdentity — the as-committed git identity
# (one of possibly many emails) — which gmeow:canonicalizedIdentity resolves to
# the real gmeow:Agent, so "same person, three git emails" is one agent without
# rewriting history. A gmeow:BuildActivity ties a source commit (gmeow:buildSource)
# to the gmeow:Distribution it produced (gmeow:buildOutput): verifiable provenance
# from source to artifact.
