The grammatical aspect of an event mention in text — a VALUE vocabulary for ISO-TimeML interoperability (perfective / progressive / perfective-progressive / none).

Structure

Subclass of: gufo:QualityValue

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:GrammaticalAspect 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 value vocabulary for the grammatical-aspect axis of an event MENTION in text (perfective / progressive / perfective-progressive / none) — for ISO-TimeML interoperability.

Avoid when

• Avoid using it to express the event's real temporal structure (that is the dating properties); aspect is a textual-realization facet, never inferred from or to actual placement.

How to use

• Reference a gmeow:GrammaticalAspect individual from a textual event mention via gmeow:eventAspect; keep it on the annotation layer.

Examples

• ex:mention gmeow:eventAspect gmeow:aspectProgressive.
