form representation

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

The actual string or value of a lexical form — the written text, IPA transcription, sign notation, or reconstructed string. Functional: one representation per form instance (a different representation is a different form).

Structure

Property shape: datatype property; gmeow:LexicalForm -> rdfs:Literal; functional

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:formRepresentation from gmeow:LexicalForm to rdfs:Literal when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to carry the actual surface string of a lexical form — its written text, IPA transcription, sign notation, or reconstructed shape.

Avoid when

• Avoid giving one form two representations (it is functional; a different string is a different form) and avoid storing the form-kind here (that is gmeow:formType).

How to use

• Assert gmeow:formRepresentation once per gmeow:LexicalForm with the surface literal; carry the modality via gmeow:formType and any transliteration scheme via gmeow:formTransliterationScheme.

Examples

• ex:waterIpa gmeow:formRepresentation "ˈwɔːtə".
