identifier scheme

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

The scheme of an identifier — e.g. 'lei', 'ror', 'naics', 'isicV4', 'companyRegistration', 'wikidata'. Declared on the Identifier node, not the Organization, to avoid cross-product pairing bugs when multiple identifiers coexist.

Structure

Property shape: datatype property; gmeow:Identifier -> rdfs:Literal; functional

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:identifierScheme from gmeow:Identifier to rdfs:Literal when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

Projection Coverage

Source	Kind	Profile	Predicate/Relation	Target	Evidence
`gmeow:identifierScheme`	projection	`schema-org`	projects to / <=	rdf:type, schema:PropertyValue, schema:identifier, schema:name, schema:propertyID, schema:url, schema:value	`gmeow:mapSchemaIdentifierRecord`; confidence 0.9; lossy: jurisdiction and any standpoint/validity detail on the record drop; schema's PropertyValue carries only the scheme/value/url/name quad; the record's rdfs:label is its display name
`gmeow:identifierScheme`	projection	`schema-org`	projects to / <=	schema:isicV4	`gmeow:mapSchemaIndustryIsic`; confidence 0.8; lossy: only ISIC-V4-scheme classifications are emitted; NAICS and other schemes are dropped
`gmeow:identifierScheme`	projection	`schema-org`	projects to / <=	schema:leiCode	`gmeow:mapSchemaLeiCode`; confidence 0.95; lossy: only LEI-scheme identifiers are emitted; other schemes (ROR, company registration, Wikidata) are dropped in this projection
`gmeow:identifierScheme`	projection	`schema-org`	projects to / <=	schema:naics	`gmeow:mapSchemaIndustryNaics`; confidence 0.8; lossy: only NAICS-scheme classifications are emitted; ISIC and other schemes are dropped; the code is emitted as a plain literal
`gmeow:identifierScheme`	projection	`schema-org`	projects to / <=	schema:taxID	`gmeow:mapSchemaTaxId`; confidence 0.95; lossy: only tax-scheme identifiers are emitted; other schemes are carried by their own cells

Usage Advice

Use when

Use to name the scheme of a gmeow:Identifier — 'lei', 'ror', 'naics', 'tax', 'wikidata' — so its scheme-local gmeow:identifierValue is interpretable; the scheme also guards schema:taxID and similar projection cells.

Avoid when

Avoid declaring the scheme on the bearer rather than the gmeow:Identifier node (that re-introduces the cross-product pairing bug) and avoid inventing a code where a standard scheme name exists.

How to use

Set gmeow:identifierScheme on the gmeow:Identifier node next to gmeow:identifierValue; a tax ID is simply scheme "tax" (the LEI/NAICS idiom), read by a scheme-guarded cell into schema:taxID.

Examples

ex:acmeLei gmeow:identifierScheme "lei".
