Language Origin

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

How a language came to be (natural, constructed, AI-generated, formal, pidgin, creole, reconstructed, …). A value, not a Language subclass: origins are open-ended and share Language's structure.

Structure

Subclass of: gufo:QualityValue

Practical Pattern

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