supersedes

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

Relates a newer entity, version, record, or claim-bearing artifact to a prior one it supersedes. Non-functional: one successor may consolidate several predecessors. Superseded entities remain first-class and usable; suppression from display is handled separately with gmeow:displayable false when appropriate.

Structure

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

Practical Pattern

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

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to record that a newer entity, version, record, or claim replaces one or more prior ones — a revised policy over its draft, a merged record consolidating several predecessors — while the superseded items stay first-class and resolvable.

Avoid when

• Avoid for lineage containment (use gmeow:versionOf or gmeow:editionOf) and for cross-realm equivalence (use gmeow:counterpartOf); never delete or owl:sameAs the predecessor — suppress it from display with gmeow:displayable false if it should no longer surface.

How to use

• Assert gmeow:supersedes from the successor to each predecessor (non-functional, so one successor may consolidate several); keep the superseded entities in the graph and mark them gmeow:displayable false when they should drop out of projections.
