span of chunk

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

The retrieved chunk this evidence span pins into — the retrieval-substrate seam of the existing evidence layer. With gmeow:spanStart/spanEnd (and the citations slice's quote selectors), the exact evidentiary bytes are recoverable and re-anchorable.

Structure

Property shape: object property; gmeow:EvidenceSpan -> gmeow:Chunk; functional

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:spanOfChunk from gmeow:EvidenceSpan to gmeow:Chunk when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

Projection Coverage

Source	Kind	Profile	Predicate/Relation	Target	Evidence
`gmeow:spanOfChunk`	projection	`schema-org`	projects to / <=	rdf:type, schema:Claim, schema:appearance, schema:author, schema:text	`gmeow:mapSchemaGeneratedClaim`; confidence 0.8; lossy: modality, veridicality, confidence, standpoint poset, and the reified statement content dropped; verdicts ride as per-review ClaimReview nodes (mapSchemaClaimReview) preserving the data's epistemic shape — attributed stays authored, anonymous stays anonymous, nothing computed; appearance only when the evidence spine is complete
`gmeow:spanOfChunk`	projection	`web-annotation`	projects to / <=	oa:Annotation, oa:SpecificResource, oa:TextPositionSelector, oa:end, oa:hasBody, oa:hasSelector, oa:hasSource, oa:hasTarget, oa:start, rdf:type	`gmeow:mapOaGroundedClaim`; confidence 0.85; lossy: supportPolarity dropped (no faithful oa motivation — assessing would imply a verdict); claim epistemics (confidence, standpoint, modality, clocks) dropped; the quote selector half joins when the citations selectors project

Usage Advice

Use when

Use to anchor an existing gmeow:EvidenceSpan into the retrieved gmeow:Chunk it cites — the seam that joins the evidence layer to the retrieval substrate so the exact bytes are recoverable.

Avoid when

Avoid pointing it at the whole source (pin into the retrieved Chunk, then gmeow:chunkOf reaches the source) and avoid using it for the chunk-to-source parthood (that is gmeow:chunkOf); it is functional, one chunk per span.

How to use

Assert exactly one gmeow:spanOfChunk per EvidenceSpan and carry the offsets with gmeow:spanStart/spanEnd; the claim then reaches its evidence via gmeow:groundedIn → span → chunk → source.
