Relates an information carrier (a document, span, segment, citation act, exemplar, or statement via the statement layer) to its aboutness mode — the explicit facet recording whether the carrier describes its subject or enacts it. Domain-free (universal, like hasGranularity, hasDeterminacy, and hasSensitivity). NOT functional: a carrier may bear different aboutness modes toward different subjects, and in a multi-vantage setting classifications coexist rather than force the reasoner to collapse them (Principle 9). An owl:AnnotationProperty (unlike the other three axes' ObjectProperties) because aboutness is routinely asserted ABOUT statements through the statement layer, where the annotation form keeps the generated OWL downcast in OWL 2 DL — the gmeow:accordingTo pattern (Principle 3). The subject toward which the mode holds is carried by the surrounding construct (the citation's cited entity, the exemplar's criterion, the statement cell) — never inferred.
Structure
Property shape: annotation property; ? -> gmeow:AboutnessMode
Practical Pattern
Use gmeow:hasAboutness from ? to gmeow:AboutnessMode when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.
