fills post

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

Relates a membership to the post (seat) the member occupies. The sitter is the member via gmeow:membershipMember; the seat is the Post. Non-functional: a joint appointment may fill one post with several memberships, and competing standpoint-indexed claims coexist.

Structure

Property shape: object property; gmeow:Membership -> gmeow:Post

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:fillsPost from gmeow:Membership to gmeow:Post when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

# Worked example: the seat is not the sitter. GMEOW de-conflates the two
# things surface vocabularies collapse into "CFO": the gmeow:Post (the seat, a
# RoleMixin that exists whether or not anyone fills it) and the gmeow:Membership
# (a person's tenure occupying it). The membership gmeow:fillsPost the post, so a
# vacancy (a Post with no Membership) and a succession (two Memberships filling
# one Post) are both expressible. organizationType is an open VALUE (a company is
# a company by value, not by subclass), and subOrganizationOf decomposes the org
# structurally — distinct from "is a member of".

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to seat the member of a gmeow:Membership in a holder-independent gmeow:Post — recording who currently occupies a named chair so vacancy and succession stay queryable.

Avoid when

• Avoid attaching it to the agent directly (it rides the gmeow:Membership relator) and avoid using it for a role with no fixed organization — that is gmeow:hasRole pointing at a bare gmeow:Role.

How to use

• Add gmeow:fillsPost to a gmeow:Membership referencing the gmeow:Post; carry the tenure with gmeow:validFrom/validUntil on the relator so a succession is a sequence of period-scoped memberships filling the same post.

Examples

• ex:emp gmeow:fillsPost ex:cfoPost.
