A privacy-sensitivity classification for a value — an open, ordered value vocabulary (public ≺ internal ≺ confidential ≺ restricted ≺ sensitive personal). The explicit facet that drives disclosure-control decisions: a value marked sensitive personal may be coarsened or withheld at projection time under a consent guard. Orthogonal to determinacy, confidence, and granularity (Principle 9). The sensitivity-to-coarsen trigger is a solver concern (P12).

Structure

Subclass of: gufo:QualityValue

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:SensitivityLevel 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 privacy-classification axis — the ordered levels (public ≺ internal ≺ confidential ≺ restricted ≺ sensitive personal) a value declares through gmeow:hasSensitivity to drive disclosure control.

Avoid when

• Avoid using it as the disclosure decision itself (that is gmeow:hasDisclosurePolicy plus the solver) and avoid minting per-level subclasses; levels are individuals on an open, ordered axis.

How to use

• Reference the seeded levels from a value via gmeow:hasSensitivity; the projection layer reads the level under a consent guard to decide whether to coarsen or withhold (P10).
