- Category: property
- Defined by:
gmeow:slices/events - Box roles: RBox role (What is this?)
Relates an observational activity to an observation it generated as a first-class output. The inverse direction (Observation → Activity) is covered by the general gmeow:wasGeneratedBy (provenance module), since Observation ⊑ Entity and ObservationalActivity ⊑ Activity. This property is deliberately NOT asserted as owl:inverseOf gmeow:wasGeneratedBy, because that would force every Activity that generates anything to be an ObservationalActivity (OWL 2 DL typing interaction).
Structure
Property shape: object property; gmeow:ObservationalActivity -> gmeow:Observation
Practical Pattern
Use gmeow:generatedObservation from gmeow:ObservationalActivity to gmeow:Observation when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

Usage Advice
Use when
- Use to link a
gmeow:ObservationalActivityto agmeow:Observationit produced as a first-class output — a survey to its findings, an audit to its verdicts.
Avoid when
- Avoid asserting it as owl:inverseOf
gmeow:wasGeneratedBy(that would force every generating activity to be observational — a DL typing trap); read the inverse direction through the general provenancegmeow:wasGeneratedByinstead.
How to use
- Assert
gmeow:generatedObservationfrom the activity to each observation; thegmeow:generatedObservation∘gmeow:vantagechain then associates the activity with each observation's vantage.
