participation role

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

The role(s) the participant played, drawn from the open gmeow:ParticipantRole value vocabulary. NON-FUNCTIONAL — mirroring gmeow:eventType: a participation may bear several roles, and competing standpoint-indexed role claims coexist (accordingTo) rather than contradict (Principle 9). Generalizes the former hasPrincipal / hasWitness / hasOfficiant subproperties.

Structure

Property shape: object property; gmeow:Participation -> gmeow:ParticipantRole

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:participationRole from gmeow:Participation to gmeow:ParticipantRole when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

# --- Reified participations: the two principals and the officiant, with roles.
#     A withdrawn or disputed role would coexist as another Participation
#     (displayable false, or standpoint-indexed) — never overwritten (P9/P10).

Usage Advice

Use when

Use to record which gmeow:ParticipantRole value(s) a participant played in an event — officiant, witness, performer — assigning several when the part is genuinely several roles at once.

Avoid when

Avoid reviving a per-role subproperty (gmeow:hasWitness and kin were refactored into role values, Principle 6) and avoid collapsing disputed roles — keep it non-functional so standpoint-indexed roles coexist via gmeow:accordingTo.

How to use

Point the gmeow:Participation at one or more gmeow:ParticipantRole individuals; carry a contested role on its own statement with gmeow:accordingTo + gmeow:confidence rather than choosing a primary.

Examples

ex:p1 gmeow:participationRole gmeow:roleOfficiant, gmeow:roleWitness.
