Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to state that an agent holds a credential — a degree, certification, badge, or license — when the bare holding relation is what matters.

Avoid when

• Avoid for the issuing organization (gmeow:credentialIssuer) or the certified subject matter (gmeow:credentialFor), and avoid treating it as proof of validity — verification is a gmeow:Attestation over the credential (Principle 4).

How to use

• Assert the agent → credential triple; many-to-many is allowed (shared licenses, group certifications), and a signed gmeow:Attestation carries whether the holding is verified rather than this property asserting it.

Examples

• ex:alice gmeow:holdsCredential ex:rnLicense.
