requires frame

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

Declares that every instance of the annotated class must carry the named reference-frame property (CONSTITUTION P11, frame-relativity gate): 'a value asserted without its frame is ill-formed'. The frame-relativity SHACL shape is GENERATED from this declaration — exactly one frame when the named property is owl:FunctionalProperty, at least one otherwise — so a new frame-relative value class is enforced the moment it is declared, never by remembering to hand-write its shape. Pair with gmeow:frameRequirementSeverity "warning" to downgrade from violation.

Structure

Property shape: annotation property

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:requiresFrame when the definition matches the source fact. Prefer a narrower GMEOW term when one exists, and keep projection concerns in the mapping layer.
