• Category: property
• Defined by: gmeow:slices/notes
• Box roles: RBox role (What is this?)

A note mentions another entity (typically another note or a resource) — the source of a directed backlink edge. Non-functional: a note may mention many entities. Kept cardinality-free for DL regularity; the inverse mentionedIn provides the backlink view.

Structure

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

Practical Pattern

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

# Worked example: notes and annotations. A gmeow:Note is a first-class
# information object — authored, timestamped, and linked to other notes by
# gmeow:hasWikilink and to entities by gmeow:mentions (the Zettelkasten / linked-
# note pattern). A gmeow:Highlight is the W3C-Web-Annotation shape for pure
# highlighting: a gmeow:annotationTarget, a precise gmeow:annotationTargetSpan
# (a text-quote Selector), and a gmeow:annotationMotivation — but NO body (a
# highlight just marks a span; for an annotation that says something, a body-
# bearing gmeow:Annotation subclass is used). A gmeow:Comment is a Note that
# threads under a parent.
