has appellation

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

Relates an entity to an appellation (name-object) it bears. The universal name-bearing property; gmeow:hasName is the person-scoped specialization. Non-functional — entities bear many co-equal names; a bearing's period is carried with gmeow:validFrom/validUntil on the statement, or reified as a gmeow:NameUsage when audience/register/evidence must be borne.

Structure

Property shape: object property; gmeow:Entity -> gmeow:Appellation

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:hasAppellation from gmeow:Entity to gmeow:Appellation when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

Usage Advice

Use when

Use for the universal direct bearing of a co-equal name on any entity when a person/place/organization-scoped specialization does not apply, and audience, register, or evidence need not be first-class.

Avoid when

Avoid it where the bearer's type fits a specialization (gmeow:hasName, gmeow:hasPlaceName, gmeow:hasOrganizationName — assert that and let hasAppellation follow), and avoid using it as a display winner; promote to gmeow:NameUsage when context must be borne.

How to use

Assert one hasAppellation triple per co-equal Appellation; carry validity, gmeow:displayable false, source, or confidence on the statement layer, or promote to gmeow:NameUsage when the bearing itself must be a relator.
