• Category: class
• Defined by: gmeow:slices/names

The domain of an honorific (academic, clerical, noble, military, judicial, social).

Structure

Subclass of: gufo:QualityValue

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:HonorificClass 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 social/institutional domain an honorific is drawn from (academic, clerical, noble, military, judicial, social) — referenced from gmeow:honorificClass on a gmeow:Honorific.

Avoid when

• Avoid minting a Honorific subclass per class (classes are individuals) and avoid using it for render placement — that is gmeow:HonorificPosition.

How to use

• Reference a seeded HonorificClass individual from gmeow:honorificClass on a Honorific; extend with a new individual rather than a subclass when a new domain of address appears.

Examples

• ex:honorific gmeow:honorificClass gmeow:honorificClassAcademic.
