realization mode

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

The mode in which an Expression realizes its Work — notated, performed, improvised, orally transmitted, or machine-generated. A frame-carried, value-vocabulary fact at the Expression tier; no shape may require a Work to be notated (the oral-tradition guarantee).

Structure

Property shape: object property; gmeow:Expression -> gmeow:RealizationMode; functional

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:realizationMode from gmeow:Expression to gmeow:RealizationMode when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

# --- EXPRESSION (notated): what the page actually encodes, framed by 12-EDO.
ex:notatedExpression a gmeow:Expression ;

# --- TWO PERFORMANCES: same work, same fixed pitches/durations, divergent where
#     the score is silent — the loss made concrete (neither is privileged, P9).

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use at the gmeow:Expression tier to record HOW a musical Work is realized — notated, performed, improvised, oral, or machine-generated — as a frame-carried value rather than a subclass split.

Avoid when

• Avoid asserting it on a Work (the Work is mode-independent) and avoid any shape that requires a notated realization — the oral-tradition guarantee forbids it (Principle 9). Functional: one mode per Expression.

How to use

• Point the Expression at one gmeow:RealizationMode individual; a notated and a performed rendition of the same Work are two Expressions, each with its own mode.

Examples

• ex:eroicaNotatedExpr gmeow:realizationMode gmeow:realizationModeNotated.
