observation result

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

The entity-valued result of an observation — a coordinate set, an instant, a quality value, a quantity, or another entity. For literal scalar readings (e.g. 22.5°C), the observationResult entity carries the literal via a datatype property (e.g. qudt:quantityValue or a module-specific scalar property). Non-functional: a single observation may yield several results in different frames or granularities, and competing result claims coexist rather than collapse.

Structure

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

Practical Pattern

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

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to name the value an Observation produces — a coordinate set, instant, quality value, modality, appellation, or a gmeow:ScalarQuantity wrapping a literal reading.

Avoid when

• Avoid hanging a raw literal here (the range is gmeow:Entity — wrap scalars in a gmeow:ScalarQuantity instead) and avoid forcing a single result in a multi-frame or multi-source merge; it is non-functional so competing results coexist.

How to use

• Point the Observation at an entity-valued result; for scalar readings make the result a gmeow:ScalarQuantity carrying gmeow:quantityValue, gmeow:hasUnit, and gmeow:hasDeterminacy. The result inherits the observation's reference frame via the isResultOf∘hasReferenceFrame chain.

Examples

• ex:reading gmeow:observationResult ex:temp22.
