• Box roles: ConfigBox role, TBox role (What is this?)

An activity that rewrites a GTS document's frame layout — e.g. into delivery order for streaming (spec §3.2) or into a snapshot. Compaction re-authors only the ORDERING: content claims (ordinary quads, including signed statement-level claims) are rewrite-invariant by construction; transport claims over the source chain become detached evidence about the source document. The compacted document gmeow:wasGeneratedBy the compaction and gmeow:wasDerivedFrom the source document, whose segment heads remain citable through gmeow:gtsHeadId. Evidence-profile documents SHOULD NOT be compacted (see shapes); sealing the source verbatim as a nested GTS blob preserves its attestation intact.

Structure

Subclass of: gmeow:Activity

Practical Pattern

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

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to record that a document was re-laid-out from a source — into streaming delivery order or a snapshot — so the new ordering is traceable to its origin while the carried content stays rewrite-invariant.

Avoid when

• Avoid for any activity that changes content claims (compaction touches only ordering) and for evidence-profile sources, where re-authoring would detach the third-party transport attestation — seal those verbatim as a nested blob instead.

How to use

• Link the output with gmeow:wasGeneratedBy and the source with gmeow:wasDerivedFrom; keep the source's segment heads citable through gmeow:gtsHeadId so the old transport claims survive as detached evidence about the source document.
