credential for

• CURIE: gmeow:credentialFor
• IRI: https://blackcatinformatics.ca/gmeow/credentialFor
• Category: property
• Defined by: gmeow:slices/expertise
• Box roles: RBox role (What is this?)

The skill or occupation that a credential certifies. Non-functional — a credential may certify several skills or both a skill and an occupation. Profile compliance: the union range (Skill|Occupation) is enforced by SHACL (shapes/expertise-shapes.ttl), not OWL, because owl:unionOf in rdfs:range violates OWL 2 RL/EL.

Structure

Property shape: object property; gmeow:Credential -> ?

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:credentialFor from gmeow:Credential to ? when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

# --- A credential: an independent attestation OF the skill, by an issuer. A
#     verifiable credential references a gmeow:Attestation that signs it (the
#     expertise↔attestation seam): the credential is a CLAIM, the attestation
#     makes it checkable.

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to name what a credential certifies — a gmeow:Skill, a gmeow:Occupation, or both — when relating the qualification to its subject matter.

Avoid when

• Avoid for the issuer (gmeow:credentialIssuer) or the holder (gmeow:holdsCredential); and do not rely on an OWL range to type the value — the Skill|Occupation union is a SHACL shape (shapes/expertise-shapes.ttl), so a bad target is caught there, not by the reasoner.

How to use

• Point the credential at one or more gmeow:Skill or gmeow:Occupation targets; it is non-functional, so a credential certifying several skills lists them all, and the SHACL shape enforces the union range.
