# --- A live service and a fediverse (ActivityPub) account on it.
ex:mastodon a gmeow:OnlineService ;
    gmeow:name          "mastodon.social"@en ;
    gmeow:serviceStatus gmeow:serviceStatusLive .

# --- P10: a shut-down service keeps its account as historical, never deleted.
ex:defunct a gmeow:OnlineService ;
    gmeow:name                "old.example.net"@en ;
    gmeow:serviceStatus       gmeow:serviceStatusShutDown ;

Usage Advice

Use when

Use to record whether an online service is currently live or has shut down — the service-liveness observation that keeps defunct platforms first-class.

Avoid when

Avoid for an account's own usage state (use gmeow:accountStatus) and avoid forcing a single value in a merge — competing source statuses coexist, so never make it functional.

How to use

Point the OnlineService at a gmeow:ServiceStatus individual; pair the shut-down value with gmeow:serviceShutdownDate, and carry conflicting source observations on the statement layer rather than collapsing them.

Scope notes

Source-variable observation, deliberately NOT functional: competing source- or standpoint-asserted statuses coexist (P9). A functional object property would force the distinct ServiceStatus values to be owl:sameAs and could drive a global OWL inconsistency that halts reasoning.
