Import Activity

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

An activity that ingested an external source artifact (an import envelope such as a vCard file) and recorded the claims it carried. Carries the ingestion (transaction) time — when the system learned the claims, distinct from when they were asserted or when they hold.

Structure

Subclass of: gmeow:Activity

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:ImportActivity 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 when modeling the ingestion of an external source — a vCard, mbox, or feed pulled in — so the transaction time and the source mapping become first-class and auditable.

Avoid when

• Avoid for in-system derivations that produce no external-source envelope (use a plain gmeow:Activity with gmeow:wasDerivedFrom) and for the moment a fact was asserted by an observer (that is statement-level gmeow:assertedAt, not ingestion).

How to use

• Type the import as gmeow:ImportActivity, stamp it with gmeow:ingestedAt, tie it to its software agent with gmeow:wasAssociatedWith, and record per-claim gmeow:mappedFrom / gmeow:importanceLevel on the statements it generated; the ingested claims point back via gmeow:wasGeneratedBy.

Examples

• ex:import2026 a gmeow:ImportActivity; gmeow:ingestedAt "2026-06-15T09:00:00Z"^^xsd:dateTime.
