An agent toward whom the commitment is made. NOT functional: a commitment may be made toward several beneficiaries at once. Must be distinct from the committed agent (SHACL); a resolution one makes purely to oneself is an Intention, not a Commitment.

Goal And Intention

• Source: slices/core/teleology/examples/goal-and-intention.ttl
• Examples catalog: open in catalog#example-slices-core-teleology-examples-goal-and-intention

# --- The commitment: a relator binding the committed agent to a beneficiary,
#     aimed at the same goal — distinct from merely intending; a promise made TO
#     someone (a Commitment is an intentional moment, so it too aims at a goal).
#     The beneficiary must be an Agent — here the employer who sponsored the
#     degree (a gmeow:Group is a gufo:Collection, not an Agent).

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to name an agent toward whom a Commitment is made — the recipient side of the social bond, repeated when several beneficiaries share one commitment.

Avoid when

• Avoid for the committing agent (use gmeow:committedAgent) and avoid naming the committed agent here — beneficiary and committed agent must be distinct (SHACL); a resolution made purely to oneself is an Intention, not a Commitment.

How to use

• Attach one or more gmeow:Agent beneficiaries to the Commitment; keep them disjoint from gmeow:committedAgent and let the period ride the relator.

Examples

• ex:slaPromise gmeow:commitmentBeneficiary ex:client.
