6) For next week.
Proceedings:
Discussed open issues with the complex hierarchy in BE that is impacting downstream work in FBC, SEC, and other domain areas. Currently, the class hierarchy includes the following:
AutonomousAgent
AutomatedSystem (FND)
IndependentParty * inferred hierarchy, equivalent to Person or Organization
LegalPerson (BE)
Polity
MunicipalEntity
RegionalSovereignty
SovereignState
SupranationalEntity
TribalEntity
LEIEligibleEntity
LEIRegisteredEntity
LegalEntity
JuridicalPerson
CharteredLegalPerson
Corporation
Instrumentality
Partnership
PrivateCompanyWithLimitedLiability
StatutoryBody
Trust
...
NaturalPerson
Organization (FND)
LEIRegisteredEntity * inferred hierarchy
FormalOrganization
GovernmentBody
BranchOfGovernment
GovernmentAgency
GovernmentDepartment
Instrumentality
FormallyConstitutedOrganization
NotForProfitOrganization
OrganizationalSubUnit
BusinessEntity
PrivateCompanyWithLimitedLiability
SoleProprietorship
JuridicalPerson
CharteredLegalPerson
Corporation
Instrumentality
Partnership
PrivateCompanyWithLimitedLiability
StatutoryBody
Trust
...
...
Person (FND)
LegallyCapablePerson (FND) * inferred hierarchy, equivalent to EmancipatedMinor or LegallyCapableAdult
Discussions over the last several weeks have recommended a number of simplifications, some of which we touched on during today's telecon. These include:
- elimination/deprecation of FormallyConstitutedOrganization (BE-180)
- make Polity a child of GovernmentBody (BE-180)
- merge LegalEntity and JuridicalPerson, and make LegalEntity a child of FormalOrganization (BE-180)
- elimination/deprecation of LEIEligibleEntity and add the restriction on LegalEntity to have min 0 is identified by LEI (BE-195 - done)
- elimination/deprecation of LegallyCapablePerson and NaturalPerson in favor of LegallyCompetentNaturalPerson (BE-181 - done)
- revising the inheritance hierarchy for IndependentParty, Person, Organization (FND-??)
- other things??
The resulting hierarchy, after the changes listed above are performed, would look like:
AutonomousAgent
AutomatedSystem (FND)
IndependentParty (asserted)
Person
LegallyCompetentNaturalPerson (BE), asserted hierarchy, with a restriction on applicable jurisdiction
Organization
FormalOrganization
GovernmentBody
BranchOfGovernment
GovernmentAgency
GovernmentDepartment
Instrumentality
Polity
MunicipalEntity
RegionalSovereignty
SovereignState
SupranationalEntity
TribalEntity
NotForProfitOrganization
BusinessEntity
PrivateCompanyWithLimitedLiability
SoleProprietorship
LegalEntity
CharteredLegalPerson
Corporation
Instrumentality
LEIRegisteredEntity
Partnership
PrivateCompanyWithLimitedLiability
StatutoryBody
Trust
OrganizationalSubUnit
BranchOfGovernment
GovernmentAgency
GovernmentDepartment
...
LegalPerson
LegallyCompetentNaturalPerson (BE), asserted hierarchy, with a restriction on jurisdiction
Polity
MunicipalEntity
RegionalSovereignty
SovereignState
