• Category: property
• Defined by: gmeow:slices/attestation

The policy under which an attestation was issued — a value vocabulary individual naming the rules or framework the attester followed. Non-functional: competing policy interpretations coexist (Principle 9).

Structure

Property shape: object property; gmeow:Attestation -> gmeow:AttestationPolicy

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:attestationPolicy from gmeow:Attestation to gmeow:AttestationPolicy when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

Common Companion Terms

gmeow:Attestation, gmeow:AttestationPolicy

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to name the rules or framework the attester followed when issuing — a SLSA build level, a credential-issuance policy, an editorial standard — so consumers and the solver can weigh the attestation against its stated policy.

Avoid when

• Avoid for the attestation kind (gmeow:attestationType) and for evaluating whether the policy was actually met — that policy-evaluation outcome is a gmeow:VerificationResult computed in the solver layer, not asserted here.

How to use

• Reference a gmeow:AttestationPolicy individual; leave policy satisfaction to a gmeow:VerificationActivity producing a gmeow:VerificationResult (status policy-failed when unmet), and let competing policy interpretations coexist (Principle 9).

Examples

• ex:provAtt gmeow:attestationPolicy ex:slsaL3.
