Maxim Violation Type

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

A value vocabulary for conversational maxim violations (Gricean maxims: quality, quantity, relation, manner).

Structure

Subclass of: gufo:QualityValue

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:MaximViolationType 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 behind gmeow:maximViolationType — the four Gricean maxim violations (quality, quantity, relation, manner) a deceptive event may be classified as breaching.

Avoid when

• Avoid minting per-maxim subclasses (the four are individuals) and avoid treating the classification as an entailment; which maxim a deception violates is a solver-layer judgement (Principle 12), not an OWL-derived fact.

How to use

• Reference the seeded individuals (gmeow:maximViolationQuality / Quantity / Relation / Manner) from a deceptive gmeow:Event via gmeow:maximViolationType; a single event may carry several (paltering violates Quantity and Relation).

Examples

• gmeow:maximViolationQuality a gmeow:MaximViolationType.
