Box roles: RBox role (What is this?)

Relates an organization to a legal identifier — a LEI, ROR ID, company-registration number, or other scheme-specific code. The scheme is declared via gmeow:identifierScheme on the Identifier node. Non-functional: an organization may have several legal identifiers.

Usage Advice

Use when

Use to attach a legal-registration gmeow:Identifier to an organization — a LEI, ROR ID, or company-registration number — the org-scoped specialization of gmeow:hasIdentifier.

Avoid when

Avoid it for non-legal codes (use gmeow:industryClassification for NAICS/ISIC, or the generic gmeow:hasIdentifier) and avoid declaring the scheme on the organization — it belongs on the gmeow:Identifier node.

How to use

Mint a gmeow:Identifier, set its gmeow:identifierScheme (e.g. "lei") and gmeow:identifierValue, optionally gmeow:jurisdiction, then attach with gmeow:legalIdentifier and let gmeow:hasIdentifier follow by subsumption.
