has profile

Links an entity, value or frame to the Profile that governs its structure.

Structure

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

Practical Pattern

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

# Worked example — the Profile meta-pattern in use: a closed descriptor schema
# over an open value vocabulary, and an instance that claims conformance to it.
#
# A consumer declares a self-describing facet for a TAGGING (the reified
# tagger × tagged × tag × scheme relator) WITHOUT minting per-tag subclasses.
# It mints one gmeow:Profile that names (a) the class it applies to (the existing
# gmeow:Tagging), (b) the descriptor properties that constitute the facet, and
# (c) the open value vocabulary those descriptors draw from (the existing
# gmeow:Tag, whose members are individuals, never subclasses — P9). Extension
# happens by adding Tag INDIVIDUALS — each referenced as the value of the
# gmeow:taggingTag descriptor — never by altering the closed descriptor set. A
# concrete Tagging points at the Profile with gmeow:hasProfile, so a consumer
# holding only the data can dereference the Profile and learn the complete
# schema — the self-description that makes "extensible by construction" a
# structure, not a slogan. The example mints no classes of its own (it reuses
# gmeow:Tagging / gmeow:Tag / gmeow:TagScheme), and asserts no Expression-typed
# value, so no P11 frame is required.

# --- A concrete Tagging that CLAIMS CONFORMANCE: it carries gmeow:hasProfile
#     pointing at the Profile whose descriptor schema governs it, and supplies
#     descriptor values — including the open-vocabulary tag as the value of
#     gmeow:taggingTag. A consumer can now validate this tagging's shape by
#     dereferencing the Profile alone.
