grounded in

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

Ties a claim node to a pinned evidence span supporting (or refuting — gmeow:supportPolarity) it. DOMAIN-FREE on purpose: a claim node is a gmeow:StandpointClaim, any other Observation, or an RDF 1.2 statement reifier — the unified observation stance (P9) means grounding applies to every claim form, and asserting a domain would leak one type onto all of them. A claim with NO groundedIn span is a flagged hallucination: retained and flagged (P10), never deleted; faithfulness (AIS) is coverage over these links.

Structure

Property shape: object property; ? -> gmeow:EvidenceSpan

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:groundedIn from ? to gmeow:EvidenceSpan when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

Usage Advice

Use when

Use to link any claim node to a pinned gmeow:EvidenceSpan that supports or refutes it; faithfulness (AIS) is exactly the coverage of these grounding links over a model's claims.

Avoid when

Avoid asserting a domain on it or restricting it to one claim form (it is domain-free so grounding applies to every claim under P9), and never delete an ungrounded claim — leaving it without gmeow:groundedIn is the flag (P10).

How to use

Point the claim node (a gmeow:StandpointClaim, other Observation, or RDF 1.2 statement reifier) at one or more gmeow:EvidenceSpan, each carrying gmeow:supportPolarity; audit queries read the absence of a link as a hallucination.

Examples

ex:claim1 gmeow:groundedIn ex:span1.
