has destruction event
- CURIE:
gmeow:hasDestructionEvent - IRI: https://blackcatinformatics.ca/gmeow/hasDestructionEvent
- Category: property
- Defined by:
gmeow:slices/lifecycle - Box roles: RBox role (What is this?)
Links an entity to the event that ended its existence — the general form of death (person), dissolution (organization), destruction (place), or retirement (frame, software). Non-functional: competing standpoint-indexed destruction claims coexist. A Person's death event is ALSO typed gmeow:eventTypeDeath. Suppression (gmeow:displayable false) is a display contract; destruction is an ontic fact — the entity is retained, merely marked as no longer extant.
Structure
Property shape: object property; gmeow:Entity -> gmeow:Event
Practical Pattern
Use gmeow:hasDestructionEvent from gmeow:Entity to gmeow:Event when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

# --- The dissolved company: still here, with its full lifecycle attached.
# Superseded AND no longer extant, so gmeow:displayable false suppresses it
# from default display — the record is retained, never deleted (P10).

Usage Advice
Use when
- Use for the flat case — linking an entity to the event that ended its existence (death, dissolution, destruction, retirement) as an ontic fact, the entity being retained, never deleted (Principle 10).
Avoid when
- Avoid confusing it with suppression (
gmeow:displayablefalse is a display contract, not an end of existence), avoid it when the claim needs standpoint or evidence (promote togmeow:EntityExistence), and keep it non-functional.
How to use
- Assert
gmeow:hasDestructionEventfrom the entity to agmeow:Eventco-typed with the rightEventType(gmeow:eventTypeDeath, dissolution, …); retain the entity and, if it should vanish from a projection, also markgmeow:displayablefalse.
