statement about

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

The asset a rights statement governs — the ODRL target. Usually the inverse of gmeow:hasRightsStatement; asserted on the relator so the statement is self-contained.

Structure

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

Practical Pattern

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

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to name the governed asset on the gmeow:RightsStatement relator (the observedFeature) — the ODRL target — so the statement carries its own subject and can be projected standalone.

Avoid when

• Avoid using it as the entity-to-statement link (that is gmeow:hasRightsStatement) and avoid attaching it to anything but a gmeow:RightsStatement; it names the relator's subject, not a direct fact.

How to use

• Set gmeow:statementAbout to the governed asset once per RightsStatement, mirroring gmeow:hasRightsStatement; a rule may narrow it per-rule with gmeow:ruleTarget when several assets share one statement.

Examples

• ex:photoRights gmeow:statementAbout ex:photo.
