self-asserted

Whether an identity facet was asserted by the person themselves (true — the top authority) rather than recorded or inferred by a third party (false). Also usable as a statement-level annotation (RDF 1.2 / OWL axiom) to mark a quoted claim as self-asserted. Non-functional: a multi-source merge may carry both a self-assertion and a third-party record, which coexist rather than force a contradiction.

Structure

Property shape: annotation property; gmeow:IdentityFacet -> xsd:boolean

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:selfAsserted from gmeow:IdentityFacet to xsd:boolean when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

Example Snippets

These snippets are generated from canonical slice examples and trimmed to the Turtle blocks where this term appears.

Self Asserted Facets

# --- The self-asserted identity: subject is its own vantage; displayed.
ex:selfId a gmeow:GenderIdentity ;
    gmeow:facetSubject  ex:robin ;
    gmeow:facetVantage  ex:robin ;
    gmeow:genderValue   gmeow:genderNonBinary ;
    gmeow:selfAsserted  true ;
    gmeow:displayable   true .

# --- An external registry's conflicting record: its vantage is the REGISTRY,
#     not Robin — kept for provenance but SUPPRESSED (P10) and never self-
#     asserted, because self-assertion outranks an imported datum.
ex:registryId a gmeow:GenderIdentity ;
    gmeow:facetSubject ex:robin ;
    gmeow:facetVantage ex:registry ;
    gmeow:genderValue  gmeow:genderWoman ;
    gmeow:selfAsserted false ;
    gmeow:displayable  false .

Split Attraction

# --- Sexual orientation axis: asexual.
ex:sexual a gmeow:SexualOrientation ;
    gmeow:facetSubject           ex:robin ;
    gmeow:facetVantage           ex:robin ;
    gmeow:sexualOrientationValue gmeow:orientAsexual ;
    gmeow:selfAsserted           true .

# --- Romantic orientation axis: biromantic — independent of the sexual axis.
ex:romantic a gmeow:RomanticOrientation ;
    gmeow:facetSubject             ex:robin ;
    gmeow:facetVantage             ex:robin ;
    gmeow:romanticOrientationValue gmeow:romanticBiromantic ;
    gmeow:selfAsserted             true .
