Relates an agent to an organization it belongs to. The flat shortcut (Principle 4); membership propagates up the organizational part/whole hierarchy via the property chain with gmeow:subOrganizationOf, so a department member is a member of the containing organization. Non-functional and standpoint-indexable — contested memberships coexist (Principle 9). Projects to schema:memberOf / org:memberOf.

Structure

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use for the direct, flat fact that an agent belongs to an organization when role, post, period, and evidence need not be first-class.

Avoid when

• Avoid it where role or period matter (promote to a gmeow:Membership relator) and avoid asserting the department-to-parent membership by hand — the property chain with gmeow:subOrganizationOf infers it.

How to use

• Assert one gmeow:memberOf triple per affiliation; carry contested claims with gmeow:accordingTo on the statement, and promote to gmeow:Membership when the membership itself must bear role, post, or interval.

Examples

• ex:alice gmeow:memberOf ex:acme.
