Narrative Time Axis

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

The axis kind of a narrative time frame — a value vocabulary (individuals, never subclasses) of exactly two members: discourse time (syuzhet, the order of telling) and story time (fabula, the order of happening). Both are first-class and neither wins (Principle 9): the discourse order is not an approximation of the story order, and the story order is not the truth of the discourse order.

Structure

Subclass of: gufo:QualityValue

Practical Pattern

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