has creation event
- CURIE:
gmeow:hasCreationEvent - IRI: https://blackcatinformatics.ca/gmeow/hasCreationEvent
- Category: property
- Defined by:
gmeow:slices/lifecycle - Box roles: RBox role (What is this?)
Links an entity to the event that brought it into existence — the general form of birth (person), founding (organization), minting (currency), or realization (reference frame). Non-functional: competing standpoint-indexed creation claims coexist, none privileged. A Person's birth event is ALSO typed gmeow:eventTypeBirth (co-equal value, not a subclass).
Structure
Property shape: object property; gmeow:Entity -> gmeow:Event
Practical Pattern
Use gmeow:hasCreationEvent from gmeow:Entity to gmeow:Event when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

# Superseded AND no longer extant, so gmeow:displayable false suppresses it

Usage Advice
Use when
- Use for the flat 80% case — linking any entity to the event that brought it into existence (birth, founding, minting, realization) without reifying the existence claim.
Avoid when
- Avoid when the creation claim is itself contested, needs evidence, or must be standpoint-indexed (promote to
gmeow:EntityExistencewithgmeow:existenceCreationEvent) and avoid forcing one event — keep it non-functional so competing claims coexist.
How to use
- Assert
gmeow:hasCreationEventfrom the entity to agmeow:Eventand co-type that event with the rightEventTypevalue (gmeow:eventTypeBirth, founding, …); reify togmeow:EntityExistenceonly when the claim itself needs standpoint or evidence.
