is aware of

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

Faintest level of the knowledge spectrum: the agent has encountered the subject and knows it exists, without necessarily knowing facts about it. Entailed by every deeper level (knowsAbout, understands, hasMastered) and by gmeow:hasSkill.

Structure

Property shape: object property; gmeow:Agent -> gmeow:Entity

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:isAwareOf from gmeow:Agent to gmeow:Entity when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

Usage Advice

Use when

Use for the shallowest objectual knowledge relation — the agent has merely encountered a subject and knows it exists — or to query every agent at that depth or deeper, since the deeper levels entail it.

Avoid when

Avoid asserting it directly when a deeper level holds (assert that level and let it entail this one), avoid it for propositional belief about a claim (that is the epistemics slice), and avoid it for the 'can do' axis (that is gmeow:hasSkill).

How to use

Assert the deepest level that truly holds and read the shallower ones by subproperty entailment; carry whose-knowledge and how-deep as a vantage-indexed claim on the statement layer when it is contested or attributed.
