PropertyRangeDescription
affectsConcept inherited Concept Links a semantic change event to the term/concept undergoing change.
controlledForArtifacts inherited boolean Boolean: whether detection method controlled for frequency/polysemy artifacts.
evidencedBy inherited disposition Links semantic change event to documentary evidence supporting its identification.
hasCause inherited Links semantic change to its driving cause (external or internal).
hasConfidence inherited float Researcher's confidence in the semantic change annotation (0.0-1.0).
hasControlCondition inherited Reference to control/null condition for validating genuine vs. artifact change.
hasDescription inherited string Human-readable description of the semantic change event.
hasEndYear inherited integer Calendar year when semantic change completed or stabilized (for query convenience).
hasExecutionTrace inherited Activity Retrospective provenance: WHAT was actually detected.
hasFromMeaning inherited Concept The original or source meaning before the semantic change.
hasProcessSpecification inherited Plan Prospective provenance: HOW change should be detected.
hasSentimentDirection inherited string Direction of sentiment change: pejoration, amelioration, or neutral.
hasStartYear inherited integer Calendar year when semantic change began (for query convenience).
hasTemporalScale inherited string Scale of temporal span: centuries, decades, years, months.
hasTextualEvidence inherited Links to specific text segment providing evidence for semantic change.
hasToMeaning inherited Concept The new or target meaning after the semantic change.
hasURIStability inherited float Measure of identifier consistency (0.0-1.0); 1.0 = no URI changes.
hasWorkflowStructure inherited Plan Links semantic change detection to process design (prospective provenance).
isSynthetic inherited boolean Boolean: whether this is synthetic (simulated) or authentic (real) semantic change.
occursDuringInterval inherited Interval Links semantic change event to the temporal interval when it occurred.
occursInDomain inherited Concept The disciplinary or discourse domain where semantic change occurs.
passesControlTest inherited boolean Boolean: whether change observed in genuine but not control condition.
usesDetectionMethod inherited DetectionMethod The computational method used to detect/measure this semantic change.
usesExternalKnowledgeBase inherited External knowledge source consulted for semantic correspondence.
