Romantic Orientation Value

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

A pattern of romantic attraction — a VALUE pointed at by gmeow:romanticOrientationValue, never a subclass. Kept separate from sexual orientation (split-attraction). Open: a fresh individual with rdfs:label when none is seeded.

Structure

Subclass of: gufo:QualityValue

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:RomanticOrientationValue 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 open value vocabulary for romantic-attraction patterns, kept deliberately separate from the sexual value space — reference a seed (heteroromantic, homoromantic, biromantic, panromantic, aromantic, demiromantic, queerromantic, questioning) or mint a fresh individual.

Avoid when

• Avoid minting per-value subclasses or a closed enum (it is an open individual vocabulary), and avoid co-typing a romantic value as a sexual one — the two value spaces are disjoint so asexual ≠ aromantic stays expressible.

How to use

• Reference a seeded individual from gmeow:romanticOrientationValue, or mint a fresh gmeow:RomanticOrientationValue with an rdfs:label and an SSSOM alignment row when the orientation is not seeded; never promote a value to a subclass.

Examples

• gmeow:romanticBiromantic a gmeow:RomanticOrientationValue; rdfs:label "biromantic"@en.
