superseded by

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

Links an entity to the entity that replaced it — Constantinople supersededBy Istanbul, the Soviet Union supersededBy the Russian Federation, a deprecated software release supersededBy its successor. Directional, NOT symmetric. The superseded entity is retained (never deleted) and may carry gmeow:displayable false.

Structure

Property shape: object property; gmeow:Entity -> gmeow:Entity

Practical Pattern

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

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to link a retired entity forward to the entity that replaced it — a renamed place, a successor state, a deprecated release — preserving the predecessor rather than deleting it (Principle 10).

Avoid when

• Avoid treating it as symmetric (it is directional; the inverse is gmeow:supersedes) and avoid deleting the superseded entity — retain it, link it forward, and mark gmeow:displayable false if it should drop out of projections.

How to use

• Assert gmeow:supersededBy from predecessor to successor; optionally record the change itself as a gmeow:Event typed gmeow:eventTypeSupersession, and mark the predecessor gmeow:displayable false for forward-facing projections.
