• Defined by: gmeow:slices/ai
• Box roles: RBox role (What is this?)

Whether this evidence span supports, refutes, or is neutral toward the claim it grounds — the NLI/AIS verdict as data, orthogonal to the citations slice's gmeow:citationIntent (which classifies a CitationAct between works, not a span-to-claim stance). A refuting span never deletes the claim; it feeds a gmeow:Contradiction and the audit queries (P9, P10).

Structure

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

Practical Pattern

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

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to record the NLI/AIS stance of a grounding span toward its claim — supports, refutes, or neutral — so faithfulness and contradiction audits read the verdict as data.

Avoid when

• Avoid confusing it with the citations slice's gmeow:citationIntent (which classifies a CitationAct between works, not a span-to-claim stance), and never let a refuting polarity delete the claim — it feeds a gmeow:Contradiction instead (P10).

How to use

• Assert exactly one gmeow:supportPolarity per gmeow:EvidenceSpan from the closed gmeow:SupportPolarity vocabulary; a refuting span seeds a gmeow:Contradiction rather than overwriting the grounded claim.

Examples

• ex:span1 gmeow:supportPolarity gmeow:polarityRefutes.
