The native knowledge-depth scale: the framework on which the four ordinal gmeow:KnowledgeLevel values (knowledgeAware ≺ knowledgeKnowsAbout ≺ knowledgeUnderstands ≺ knowledgeMastered) are read. The default gmeow:knowledgeProficiencyScale when a proficiency is stated in GMEOW's own terms rather than an external taxonomy.

Structure

Types: gmeow:ProficiencyScale

Practical Pattern

# --- Promote to a reified proficiency: depth read on an explicit named SCALE,
#     over a temporal interval. The flat hasMastered above and this relator
#     coexist; gmeow:pairsWith links the two forms.
ex:adaPython a gmeow:KnowledgeProficiency ;
    gmeow:knowledgeProficiencyAgent    ex:ada ;
    gmeow:knowledgeProficiencySubject  wd:Q28865 ;       # Python
    gmeow:knowledgeProficiencyLevel    gmeow:knowledgeMastered ;
    gmeow:knowledgeProficiencyScale    gmeow:scaleKnowledgeDepth ;
    gmeow:knowledgeProficiencyInterval ex:adaPythonSince ;
    gmeow:displayable true .

# --- Suppression, not deletion (Principle 10): Ada once understood a framework she
#     has since let lapse. The proficiency is RETAINED with a CLOSED interval and
#     gmeow:displayable false — what she knew WHEN stays a query, not an erasure.
ex:adaBioinf a gmeow:KnowledgeProficiency ;
    gmeow:knowledgeProficiencyAgent    ex:ada ;
    gmeow:knowledgeProficiencySubject  wd:Q189436 ;      # bioinformatics
    gmeow:knowledgeProficiencyLevel    gmeow:knowledgeUnderstands ;
    gmeow:knowledgeProficiencyScale    gmeow:scaleKnowledgeDepth ;
    gmeow:knowledgeProficiencyInterval ex:adaBioinfPast ;
    gmeow:displayable false .                            # lapsed — withheld, not deleted
