detected media type

• CURIE: gmeow:detectedMediaType

• Category: property
• Defined by: gmeow:slices/names
• Box roles: RBox role (What is this?)

The MIME media type DETECTED from the bytes/magic of an information object (the observed type). May disagree with a filename's gmeow:claimedMediaType — a mismatch is recorded, not reasoned into a contradiction. Non-functional.

Structure

Property shape: datatype property; gmeow:InformationObject -> rdfs:Literal

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:detectedMediaType from gmeow:InformationObject to rdfs:Literal when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

Common Companion Terms

gmeow:InformationObject

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to record the MIME media type DETECTED from an information object's bytes/magic — the observed type, to be compared against the extension's claim.

Avoid when

• Avoid overwriting the extension's claim with it (keep both — the claim is gmeow:claimedMediaType) and avoid reasoning a claim-vs-detected mismatch into an OWL contradiction; benign aliasing must not make the graph inconsistent.

How to use

• Set gmeow:detectedMediaType on the information object from its bytes; a disagreement with gmeow:claimedMediaType is recorded as coexisting confidence-weighted claims, never disjointness.

Examples

• ex:report gmeow:detectedMediaType "image/png".
