sensory observation of

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

The entity whose property is being observed — the observedFeature of a sensory observation. Subproperty of gmeow:observedFeature so generic consumers can query all observations without knowing the domain.

Structure

Property shape: object property; gmeow:SensoryObservation -> gmeow:Entity Sub-property of: gmeow:observedFeature

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:sensoryObservationOf from gmeow:SensoryObservation to gmeow:Entity when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

# Worked example: a sensor reading on the observation stack . A
# gmeow:SensoryObservation records WHAT was sensed (gmeow:sensoryObservationOf),
# WHICH gmeow:ObservableProperty (humidity), and the gmeow:SensoryQuantity result.
# A gmeow:Sensor is a gufo functional complex that is also an Agent, so it is the
# observation's gmeow:vantage — the SensoryObservation is an Observation like any
# other, just produced by an instrument on a gmeow:SensorPlatform at a location.
