derivation source

• CURIE: gmeow:derivationSource
• IRI: https://blackcatinformatics.ca/gmeow/derivationSource
• Category: property
• Defined by: gmeow:slices/creative-works
• Box roles: CBox role, RBox role (What is this?)

The ancestor lexical item or form from which the target is derived. Functional per relator: one source per EtymologicalDerivation (a derivation with multiple sources is modeled as multiple derivations).

Structure

Property shape: object property; gmeow:CreativeDerivation -> gmeow:CreativeWork; functional Sub-property of: gmeow:observedFeature

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:derivationSource from gmeow:CreativeDerivation to gmeow:CreativeWork when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use inside a gmeow:CreativeDerivation to name the single source work the product was derived from — at the honest tier (a sampled Recording, a covered Work).
• Use on an EtymologicalDerivation to name the single ancestor lexical item or form from which the target descends.

Avoid when

• Avoid asserting it outside a CreativeDerivation relator and avoid more than one source — it is functional; a mashup of two sources gets two derivations or segment pins.
• Avoid naming multiple sources on one derivation (it is functional; a multi-source etymology is several derivations) and avoid swapping it with gmeow:derivationTarget — direction is ancestor to descendant.

How to use

• Assert gmeow:derivationSource once from the relator to its ancestor (required by the someValuesFrom axiom); it specializes gmeow:observedFeature, so the ancestor surfaces in generic observation queries.
• Point the CreativeDerivation at one source gmeow:CreativeWork; pair with gmeow:derivationProduct and gmeow:derivationType.
