has role

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

Relates a membership to the role the member plays. Domain is gmeow:Membership so the role is borne by the relator, not the agent — a person plays a role THROUGH a membership, never as a subclass of themselves (Principle 9). Non-functional: a membership may carry several roles.

Structure

Property shape: object property; gmeow:Membership -> gmeow:Role

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:hasRole from gmeow:Membership to gmeow:Role when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

`gmeow:hasRole`	projection	`foaf`	projects to / <=	foaf:title	`gmeow:mapFoafTitle`; confidence 0.85; lossy: the membership's organization, period and compensation drop; the bare title string survives

Usage Advice

Use when

Use to bind a gmeow:Role to a gmeow:Membership — the function the member plays within the organization for the duration of that membership.

Avoid when

Avoid attaching it to the agent directly (the role rides the membership relator, not the person) and avoid using it for the holder-independent seat — that is gmeow:fillsPost pointing at a gmeow:Post.

How to use

Add one or more gmeow:hasRole triples to a gmeow:Membership referencing gmeow:Role individuals; pair with gmeow:fillsPost when the role is a named, holder-independent seat.

Examples

ex:emp gmeow:hasRole ex:cfoRole.
