Gender Expression Style

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

A style of gender expression — a VALUE pointed at by gmeow:expressionValue, never a subclass. Open: a style not seeded here is a fresh individual with rdfs:label.

Structure

Subclass of: gufo:QualityValue

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:GenderExpressionStyle 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 open value vocabulary for the presentation style a gmeow:expressionValue points at; mint a fresh individual with rdfs:label when no seeded style fits.

Avoid when

• Avoid modelling a style as a subclass or a forced enum, and avoid treating any seeded style as a default; the values are co-equal (Principle 9).

How to use

• Reference a seeded gmeow:GenderExpressionStyle individual or add a fresh one with rdfs:label; expose it only through a gmeow:GenderExpression facet.

Examples

• ex:expressionButch a gmeow:GenderExpressionStyle; rdfs:label "butch"@en.
