The observation or claim that an attestation vouches for, when the subject of the attestation is itself a claim rather than a bare entity. Non-functional: an attestation may vouch for several related claims simultaneously.

Structure

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

Practical Pattern

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

Common Companion Terms

gmeow:Attestation, gmeow:Observation

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to link an attestation to the gmeow:Observation it vouches for — the seam between the universal claim stack (what is asserted) and the attestation (who vouches for it under which policy).

Avoid when

• Avoid for a bare non-claim subject (use gmeow:attestedSubject) and avoid treating the attestation as making the claim true — it only records that the attester vouched for it; the claim's own modality stays on the Observation (Principle 9).

How to use

• Mint the claim as a gmeow:Observation (or StandpointClaim) and point gmeow:attestedClaim at it; attach signature and log evidence to the Attestation, and keep the claim's confidence and standpoint on the Observation rather than the envelope.

Examples

• ex:credAtt gmeow:attestedClaim ex:degreeClaim.
