Standpoint Tenure

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

The reified, time-scoped fact that a standpoint held a particular position over an interval — recognition granted in 2008 and withdrawn in 2030 is an opened-then-closed tenure, never a deletion (Principle 10). Use only when the adoption / withdrawal of the position is itself worth modelling; the common case is a bare gmeow:accordingTo annotation. Carries its standpoint-time interval via gmeow:duringInterval (temporal module). A StandpointTenure generates a gmeow:standpointClaim observation. The tenure is the time-scoped fact; the claim is the observation of that fact. The tenureStandpoint maps to the claim's vantage; the tenurePosition maps to the claim's observedFeature.

Structure

Subclass of: gmeow:TimeScopedRelation

Practical Pattern

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

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use when the adoption or withdrawal of a standpoint's position over an interval is itself the fact of interest — recognition granted then revoked — so the change is an opened-then-closed tenure carrying its standpoint-time interval, retained never deleted (Principle 10).

Avoid when

• Avoid reifying a tenure for an ordinary perspectival claim — the common case is a bare gmeow:accordingTo annotation, reify on demand (Principle 4) — and avoid deleting a withdrawn position; close the tenure with gmeow:displayable false instead, and never elevate one tenure as the authoritative position.

How to use

• Mint the tenure, bind its frame with gmeow:tenureStandpoint and the held claim with gmeow:tenurePosition, scope it in standpoint-time via gmeow:duringInterval (temporal module); it generates exactly one gmeow:standpointClaim observation whose vantage is the tenureStandpoint and whose observedFeature is the tenurePosition.

Examples
