knowledge proficiency interval

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

The interval over which a knowledge-proficiency held; closing it (rather than deleting) records lapsed knowledge (Principle 10). Non-functional. Lighter cases use gmeow:validFrom/validUntil on the statement.

Structure

Property shape: object property; gmeow:KnowledgeProficiency -> gmeow:TimeInterval

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:knowledgeProficiencyInterval from gmeow:KnowledgeProficiency to gmeow:TimeInterval when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

Knowledge Proficiency

# --- Promote to a reified proficiency: depth read on an explicit named SCALE,
#     over a temporal interval. The flat hasMastered above and this relator
#     coexist; gmeow:pairsWith links the two forms.

# --- Suppression, not deletion (Principle 10): Ada once understood a framework she
#     has since let lapse. The proficiency is RETAINED with a CLOSED interval and
#     gmeow:displayable false — what she knew WHEN stays a query, not an erasure.

gmeow:KnowledgeProficiency, gmeow:TimeInterval

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to bind the temporal-scope player of a gmeow:KnowledgeProficiency relator when the period a depth held is itself first-class — and to record lapsed knowledge by CLOSING the interval rather than deleting the proficiency (Principle 10).

Avoid when

• Avoid it for the lighter case where a single validity span suffices (use gmeow:validFrom / gmeow:validUntil on the statement instead) and avoid ever deleting a relator to express forgetting — close the interval or set gmeow:displayable false.

How to use

• Point gmeow:knowledgeProficiencyInterval at a gmeow:TimeInterval (non-functional — several spans may attach); close the interval to suppress lapsed knowledge while keeping what the agent knew when as a query (Principle 10).
