Filename

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

An appellation borne by a digital file — a stem and an extension. The extension CLAIMS a content type (gmeow:claimedMediaType) which may disagree with the type detected from the bytes (gmeow:detectedMediaType); the disagreement is recorded as coexisting claims with confidence, never reasoned into a contradiction.

Structure

Subclass of: gmeow:Appellation

Practical Pattern

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

Common Companion Terms

gmeow:Appellation

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use for the name borne by a digital file — a stem plus an extension — especially when the extension's claimed media type must be recorded alongside the type detected from the bytes.

Avoid when

• Avoid for the file's content or its real-world subject (model those as the borne InformationObject), and avoid resolving a claimed-vs-detected media-type mismatch into a contradiction — record both as coexisting claims.

How to use

• Mint a Filename, give it gmeow:fullName, decompose into gmeow:namePartStem and gmeow:namePartExtension, and carry gmeow:claimedMediaType (from the extension) and gmeow:detectedMediaType (from the bytes) as non-functional, possibly disagreeing claims.

Examples

• ex:report a gmeow:Filename; gmeow:fullName "report.pdf"; gmeow:claimedMediaType "application/pdf".
