Usage Advice

Use when

• Use for the flat case — recording that an event complies with a norm according to whoever asserts it (the positive twin of gmeow:violates).

Avoid when

• Avoid reading it as an entailment (compliance is always somebody's judgement) and avoid it when the assessor, evidence, or confidence must be first-class (promote to gmeow:ComplianceAssessment).

How to use

• Assert gmeow:complies from the gmeow:Event to the gmeow:Norm, indexed on the statement layer; reify to gmeow:ComplianceAssessment when the judgement's provenance matters.

Examples

• ex:erasureEvent gmeow:complies ex:n1.
