• Box roles: TBox role (What is this?)

A norm for judging — a reified evaluation framework whose criteria, poles, scales, and anchors are first-class content. Being a Norm, a rubric names its issuer (no anonymous evaluation standards), may be overridden, and carries authority within its issuing system. Applying a rubric is solver work; the results come back as vantage-indexed Assessments (Principle 12). Member criteria attach via gmeow:hasCriterion (⊑ gmeow:hasPart).

Structure

Subclass of: gmeow:Norm, gmeow:SocialObject

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:Rubric as a specialized kind of gmeow:Norm, gmeow:SocialObject. Add statement metadata or a standpoint when the assertion needs provenance, confidence, or vantage.

Common Companion Terms

gmeow:Norm, gmeow:SocialObject

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use for a reified evaluation framework — a norm for judging whose criteria, poles, scales, and anchors are first-class content, issued and overridable like any norm.

Avoid when

• Avoid baking the scoring function into triples (applying a rubric is permanently solver work — Principle 12; results return as Assessments) and avoid an anonymous rubric (being a Norm, it must name its issuer).

How to use

• Mint the rubric, name its issuer, attach criteria with gmeow:hasCriterion, set a default scale with gmeow:usesScale; applying it yields vantage-indexed gmeow:Assessment cells, never asserted scores.

Examples

• ex:voiceRubric a gmeow:Rubric; gmeow:systemIssuer ex:editorial; gmeow:hasCriterion ex:agency; gmeow:usesScale ex:zeroToOne.
