Summary

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

A condensed account derived from a source information object (often machine-generated), linked to its source by gmeow:wasDerivedFrom. A lossy projection of its source: the source remains canonical and the summary is the reduced view.

Structure

Subclass of: gmeow:InformationObject

Practical Pattern

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

Example Snippets

These snippets are generated from canonical slice examples and trimmed to the Turtle blocks where this term appears.

Usage Advice

Use when

Use for a condensed, lossy account derived from a source information object — a machine- or human-written abstract whose source stays canonical and whose lineage must be recoverable.

Avoid when

Avoid for a verbatim slice of the source text (use gmeow:TextExtraction) and for an independently authored work that merely covers the same topic; a Summary asserts derivation from a specific source.

How to use

Type the condensed object as gmeow:Summary and link it to its source with gmeow:wasDerivedFrom; record the generating model via gmeow:wasGeneratedBy and the summarization confidence and lossiness on the statement layer.

Examples

ex:summary a gmeow:Summary; gmeow:wasDerivedFrom ex:report.
