Agent Sortals

• Source: slices/core/entities/examples/agent-sortals.ttl
• Examples catalog: open in catalog#example-slices-core-entities-examples-agent-sortals

# --- People: gmeow:Person, the identity-supplying sortal everything else anchors
#     to. Flat names suffice for the example; a contested or multilingual name
#     would promote to the names slice's reified PersonName.
ex:mara a gmeow:Person ;
    gmeow:name "Mara Okafor"@en ;
    gmeow:description "Backend engineer; maintains the release pipeline."@en .

ex:tomas a gmeow:Person ;
    gmeow:name "Tomáš Novák"@en .

Location Access

# --- An agent's need, drawn from the SAME facet vocabulary → directly matchable
#     against the library's feature.
ex:dana a gmeow:Person ;
    gmeow:name               "Dana Reyes"@en ;
    gmeow:hasAccessibilityNeed gmeow:facetWheelchair .

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use for an individual human being who acts, authors, or is described — the human specialization of gmeow:Agent that supplies its own principle of identity (gufo:Kind).

Avoid when

• Avoid for non-human actors (use gmeow:SoftwareAgent), for collectives (use gmeow:Group or gmeow:Organization), and for a merely named human role; Person is disjoint with Organization and SoftwareAgent.

How to use

• Type the human as gmeow:Person, carry their name through the structured gmeow:hasName / gmeow:PersonName apparatus (names module) rather than the flat gmeow:name literal, and attach nationality, contributions, and contacts through their dedicated properties and role relators.

Examples

• ex:lillith a gmeow:Person; gmeow:hasName ex:lillithName; gmeow:nationality ex:canada.
