facet vantage

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

The agent asserting an identity facet — the vantage of the claim. When gmeow:selfAsserted is true, the facetVantage is the person themselves (Principle 9: self-assertion is top authority).

Structure

Property shape: object property; gmeow:Observation -> gmeow:Agent Sub-property of: gmeow:vantage

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:facetVantage from gmeow:Observation to gmeow:Agent 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 agent asserting an identity-facet claim — the IdentityFacet specialization of gmeow:vantage; for a self-asserted facet, this is the subject person themselves.

Avoid when

• Avoid for the person the facet is about (that is gmeow:facetSubject) and for non-identity observations (use gmeow:vantage); the vantage is who CLAIMS the facet, a co-equal standpoint, never a privileged authority over the subject.

How to use

• Bind the asserting gmeow:Agent and set gmeow:selfAsserted true when subject and vantage coincide; generic consumers read it through the gmeow:vantage super-role, and competing third-party facet claims coexist as separate observations (Principle 9).

Examples

• ex:genderClaim gmeow:facetVantage ex:alice.
