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

The kind(s) of a symbolic system (gmeow:SymbolicSystemKind values). Non-functional — a system may serve multiple domains simultaneously.

Structure

Property shape: object property; gmeow:SymbolicSystem -> gmeow:SymbolicSystemKind

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:symbolicSystemKind from gmeow:SymbolicSystem to gmeow:SymbolicSystemKind when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

Common Companion Terms

gmeow:SymbolicSystem, gmeow:SymbolicSystemKind

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to tag a symbolic system with the domain(s) it serves — mathematical, musical, stenographic, emoji, gesture — asserting as many as apply, since one system may span several.

Avoid when

• Avoid using it for the role a notation plays in a particular use (that is gmeow:notationUsageRole) and avoid making it functional; a system serving multiple domains states multiple kinds rather than collapsing them.

How to use

• Point the system at one or more seeded gmeow:SymbolicSystemKind individuals; for a system already typed gmeow:NotationSystem prefer the gmeow:notationSystemKind subproperty so the narrower domain is explicit.

Examples

• ex:braille gmeow:symbolicSystemKind gmeow:symbolicKindTranscription, gmeow:symbolicKindEncoding.
