existence entity

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

The entity whose existence is recorded by this EntityExistence. Functional: an EntityExistence concerns exactly one entity (constitutive of the situation's identity).

Structure

Property shape: object property; gmeow:EntityExistence -> gmeow:Entity; functional

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:existenceEntity from gmeow:EntityExistence to gmeow:Entity when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

Common Companion Terms

gmeow:EntityExistence, gmeow:Entity

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use on an EntityExistence to name the single entity whose existence-over-time the situation records.

Avoid when

• Avoid pointing it at more than one entity (it is functional and identity-constitutive — mint a separate EntityExistence per entity) and avoid using it on the flat form, which attaches existence directly to the entity.

How to use

• Assert gmeow:existenceEntity once from the EntityExistence to its subject; the someValuesFrom axiom requires it and SHACL closes the exactly-one cardinality.

Examples

• ex:troyExistence gmeow:existenceEntity ex:troy.
