The channel a proficiency rates (speaking, listening, reading, writing, signing, comprehension, overall). A value carried by gmeow:proficiencyModality.

Structure

Subclass of: gufo:QualityValue

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:ProficiencyModality 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 for the channel a rating applies to when one competency splits by skill (a CEFR speaking rating distinct from the reading rating); referenced from a proficiency relator's modality role via gmeow:proficiencyModality.

Avoid when

• Avoid using it for the framework (gmeow:ProficiencyScale) or the attained rung (gmeow:ProficiencyLevel); modality is the channel axis, orthogonal to both. Omit it entirely when a proficiency is overall and undifferentiated by channel.

How to use

• Mint each channel as an individual of gmeow:ProficiencyModality and cite it from gmeow:proficiencyModality on the relator; pair distinct modality values with distinct level values when one competency is rated per channel.
