Evaluation Verdict

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

The outcome of a condition evaluation — held, not held, or undetermined. A closed three-member value vocabulary. Semantically the observationResult of a ConditionEvaluation, but not declared rdfs:subPropertyOf-reachable because QualityValues are disjoint from Entities in the DL profile (the claimModality precedent, standpoint module).

Structure

Subclass of: gufo:QualityValue

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:EvaluationVerdict 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 closed value vocabulary for evaluation outcomes — held, not held, undetermined — reused by both gmeow:evaluationVerdict and gmeow:complianceVerdict.

Avoid when

• Avoid minting a fourth verdict (the trichotomy is closed) and avoid modelling it as an observationResult subproperty — QualityValue is disjoint from Entity (the claimModality pattern).

How to use

• Reference one of the three seeded verdict individuals from an evaluation or compliance assessment; undetermined is a first-class outcome, not an absence.

Examples

• ex:ev1 gmeow:evaluationVerdict gmeow:verdictUndetermined.
