Message Kind

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

The behavioral or report kind of a message — a VALUE vocabulary (individuals, never subclasses). Categories can overlap (a bounce is also auto-generated; a read receipt is also auto-generated). Principle 9: no single category wins.

Structure

Subclass of: gufo:QualityValue

Practical Pattern

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