An organization that ceases or transforms in a multi-organization change event — a merger, split, spin-off, acquisition, or rename. Non-functional: a merger has several predecessors, and competing standpoint-indexed predecessor claims coexist.

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use on a multi-organization change gmeow:Event (merger, split, acquisition, rename) to name an organization that ceased or transformed in it.

Avoid when

• Avoid asserting a direct organization-to-organization succession edge (the change is mediated by an gmeow:Event) and avoid forcing one predecessor — a merger has several, and contested succession claims coexist via gmeow:accordingTo (Principle 9).

How to use

• Reify the change as a gmeow:Event, attach each prior organization with gmeow:predecessorOrganization and each resulting one with gmeow:successorOrganization; carry contested succession with gmeow:accordingTo on the statements.

Examples

• ex:merger gmeow:predecessorOrganization ex:oldcoA, ex:oldcoB.
