displayable

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

Whether a name or identity facet may be shown in interfaces and reports. The ONLY display control in the model — across naming (gmeow:Appellation) and identity (gmeow:IdentityFacet: gender/orientation), deliberately no preferred/primary marker (display selection is locale-relative and symmetric). It is intentionally domain-free so it applies to both. Superseded names (especially deadnames) and superseded gender/orientation labels set this false; consumers MUST honour false and never surface the string. NOT functional: in a multi-source merge, sources may disagree, and those claims must coexist rather than force a global inconsistency — the cautious value (false) wins at the projection layer. Cardinality is enforced by SHACL on data, not by the logical core.

Structure

Property shape: datatype property; ? -> xsd:boolean

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:displayable from ? to xsd:boolean when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

# --- The chosen legal name, decomposed into ordered parts (displayable).

    gmeow:namePurpose gmeow:namePurposeChosen ;
    gmeow:displayable true ;
    gmeow:hasNamePart ex:partGiven , ex:partMiddle , ex:partSurname .

# --- The superseded deadname: RETAINED (the record stays auditable) but
#     displayable false, so no projection ever surfaces it (P10).
ex:nameDead a gmeow:PersonName ;
    gmeow:fullName "Jordan Chen"@en ;

# --- Suppression, not deletion (Principle 10): forgetting, via the documented
#     remembers ↔ gmeow:MemoryItem bridge . Nova's remembering of a subject is
#     BACKED by MemoryItem(s) about it; a faded memory is the MemoryItem marked
#     gmeow:displayable false — retained for "what she remembered WHEN", never erased.
#     The bridge is prose, so cognition adds no dependency on the ai slice (Principle 9).

Projection Coverage

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to SUPPRESS a name or identity facet from interfaces and reports — a superseded name, a deadname, or a superseded gender/orientation label that must never be surfaced.

Avoid when

• Avoid using it to SELECT a preferred or primary name (there is deliberately no such marker — display selection is locale-relative and symmetric) and avoid forcing one value in a merge — competing claims coexist, the cautious false winning at projection.

How to use

• Set gmeow:displayable false on the suppressed name or facet; consumers MUST honour false and never emit the string. Pair a deadname with gmeow:namePurposeDeadname, and let the cautious value win when sources disagree.

Examples

• ex:deadname gmeow:displayable false.
