The kind of an emotion — an OPEN value vocabulary seeded with Plutchik's primary eight (the EmotionML standard set). Registry-independent and contestable, never a tree (the Genre/Register precedent): traditions disagree about the emotion inventory itself, and that disagreement is data, not error (Principle 9).

Structure

Subclass of: gufo:QualityValue

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:EmotionType as a specialized kind of gufo:QualityValue. Add statement metadata or a standpoint when the assertion needs provenance, confidence, or vantage.
