facet subject

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

The person an identity facet (gender identity, gender expression, sexual/romantic orientation) is about — the observedFeature of the claim. Domain is gmeow:Observation so it applies to any observation subclass; the shape narrows to IdentityFacet instances.

Structure

Property shape: object property; gmeow:Observation -> gmeow:Person Sub-property of: gmeow:observedFeature

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:facetSubject from gmeow:Observation to gmeow:Person when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

Self Asserted Facets

• Examples catalog: open in catalog#example-slices-core-gender-examples-self-asserted-facets

# A facet is an Observation: it records its gmeow:facetSubject (whose facet) and
# gmeow:facetVantage (who asserts it). When self-asserted, the vantage IS the
# subject — that self-reference is exactly what makes it the top authority.
ex:registry a gmeow:Organization ; gmeow:name "National Records Registry"@en .

# --- The self-asserted identity: subject is its own vantage; displayed.
ex:selfId a gmeow:GenderIdentity ;
    gmeow:facetSubject  ex:robin ;
    gmeow:facetVantage  ex:robin ;
    gmeow:genderValue   gmeow:genderNonBinary ;
    gmeow:selfAsserted  true ;
    gmeow:displayable   true .

# A facet is an Observation: gmeow:facetSubject is whose facet it is, and for a
# self-asserted facet the gmeow:facetVantage is the person themselves (P9).

# --- Sexual orientation axis: asexual.
ex:sexual a gmeow:SexualOrientation ;
    gmeow:facetSubject           ex:robin ;
    gmeow:facetVantage           ex:robin ;
    gmeow:sexualOrientationValue gmeow:orientAsexual ;
    gmeow:selfAsserted           true .

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to name the person an identity-facet claim (gender identity, gender expression, sexual or romantic orientation) is about — the IdentityFacet specialization of gmeow:observedFeature.

Avoid when

• Avoid for any non-identity observation (use the plain gmeow:observedFeature or the matching subproperty) and for the asserting agent (that is gmeow:facetVantage); the subject is who the facet is ABOUT, not who claims it.

How to use

• On an IdentityFacet, point gmeow:facetSubject at the gmeow:Person and gmeow:facetVantage at the asserting agent; generic consumers read both through the gmeow:observedFeature / gmeow:vantage super-roles. When gmeow:selfAsserted is true, subject and vantage are the same person (Principle 9: self-assertion is top authority).

Examples

• ex:genderClaim gmeow:facetSubject ex:alice.
