has granularity

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

Relates a value, place, period, coordinate or measurement to its own resolution level — the explicit 'no silent precision' facet, queryable independently of any disclosure control. Domain-free. NOT functional: in a multi-source merge sources may state different resolutions, and those claims coexist rather than force the reasoner to collapse distinct levels.

Structure

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

Practical Pattern

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

Common Companion Terms

gmeow:GranularityLevel, gmeow:StandpointTenure, gmeow:coarsenTo, gmeow:displayable, gmeow:hasDisclosurePolicy, gmeow:hasSensitivity, gmeow:validUntil, gmeow:MeasuredValue, gmeow:Quantity, gmeow:ScalarQuantity

Usage Advice

Use when

Use whenever a value, place, period, coordinate, or measurement is known only to a particular resolution — the explicit 'no silent precision' facet, asserted independently of any disclosure decision.

Avoid when

Avoid treating it as a privacy control (that is gmeow:coarsenTo) and avoid forcing a single level in a merge — distinct source resolutions are meant to coexist, so never make it functional.

How to use

Point the value at a gmeow:GranularityLevel individual; pair with gmeow:coarsenTo when the same axis must also drive projection-time generalization.
