has sensitivity

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

Relates a value, entity, or claim to its privacy-sensitivity level — the explicit facet that drives disclosure-control decisions (coarsenTo / displayable) at projection time under a consent guard. Domain-free (universal, like hasGranularity and hasDeterminacy). NOT functional: in a multi-source merge sources may state different sensitivity levels, and those claims coexist rather than force the reasoner to collapse distinct levels. Distinct from gmeow:confidence (epistemic certainty) and from gmeow:hasDeterminacy (ontic model).

Structure

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

Practical Pattern

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

# Worked example: the kernel disclosure machinery (Principles 10 and 12). Any entity can
# declare HOW SENSITIVE it is (gmeow:hasSensitivity), the POLICY governing its
# release (gmeow:hasDisclosurePolicy), and WHICH CONSUMERS are eligible to receive
# it (gmeow:eligibleForConsumer → a ProjectionContext). This is the projection/
# disclosure boundary: a confidential record is never deleted, only withheld from
# the wrong consumer (P10 suppression, P12 solver/presentation split). Part-whole
# mereology (gmeow:partOf / gmeow:hasPart) and gmeow:hasDeterminacy (how crisp the
# value is) are the other kernel primitives every slice reuses.

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to classify how sensitive a value, entity, or claim is, so the projection layer can decide whether to coarsen or withhold it for a given consumer.

Avoid when

• Avoid using it for epistemic certainty (gmeow:confidence) or ontic determinacy (gmeow:hasDeterminacy), and avoid collapsing competing source classifications — keep it non-functional.

How to use

• Point the value at a gmeow:SensitivityLevel; combine with gmeow:hasDisclosurePolicy and gmeow:coarsenTo so the solver can resolve the conditional release decision under a consent guard.

Examples

• ex:homeAddress gmeow:hasSensitivity gmeow:sensitivitySensitivePersonal.
