feat: Add ConflictType and ConflictTypes schemas for heritage conflict taxonomy

- Introduced abstract class ConflictType to define a taxonomy for various conflict types affecting heritage institutions. - Added concrete subclasses in ConflictTypes.yaml, detailing specific conflict types such as ArmedConflict, NaturalDisaster, CivilUnrest, Terrorism, Looting, Neglect, Occupation, and Sanctions. - Implemented Permission and PermissionType schemas to represent authorization requirements for accessing heritage materials, including subclasses like BishopsPermission and InstitutionalAffiliation. - Created SocialNetworkMember class for representing members in social/professional networks, facilitating heritage sector network analysis. - Established slots for canonical access rules, conflict status, and connection metadata, enhancing the data model for heritage custodians. - Developed ConnectionDegree and ConnectionDegreeType classes to represent degrees of connection in social networks, with subclasses for first, second, and third-plus degrees. - Added slots for birth dates in EDTF and ISO formats, improving the representation of heritage custodian entities.

+      **DEFINITION**:
+      
+      A Conflict represents an armed conflict, natural disaster, or other
+      destructive event that impacts heritage institutions. This class
+      captures the CONFLICT ITSELF, while ConflictStatus captures the
+      STATUS of a specific custodian affected by the conflict.
+      
+      **SEMANTIC PATTERN**:
+      
+      ```
+      Custodian
+        │
+        └── is_or_was_involved_in → Conflict (THIS CLASS)
+              ├── has_or_had_type → ConflictType (ARMED_CONFLICT, NATURAL_DISASTER, etc.)
+              ├── has_or_had_label: "Gaza War 2023-2024"
+              ├── temporal_extent → TimeSpan (duration of conflict)
+              └── involvement_status → ConflictStatus (status of THIS custodian)
+      ```
+      
+      **DISTINCTION FROM ConflictStatus**:
+      - **Conflict** (THIS CLASS): The conflict event itself (e.g., "Gaza War 2023")
+      - **ConflictStatus**: The status of a specific custodian (DESTROYED, DAMAGED, etc.)
+      
+      A single Conflict can affect multiple custodians, each with different statuses.
+      
+      **CIDOC-CRM ALIGNMENT**:
+      - Primary: `crm:E5_Event` - "comprises occurrences in spacetime that can be
+        delimited within a defined extent of the spacetime"
+      - Specialization: `crm:E6_Destruction` when resulting in destruction
+      
+      **USE CASES**:
+      
+      1. **Gaza 2023-2024**: Armed conflict affecting 30+ heritage institutions
+      2. **Syrian Civil War**: Ongoing conflict affecting museums and archives
+      3. **Nepal Earthquake 2015**: Natural disaster affecting heritage sites
+      4. **Iraq War**: Looting and destruction of cultural heritage
+

+      **DEFINITION**:
+      
+      SocialNetworkMember represents a person who is part of a professional
+      network (LinkedIn, ORCID, etc.) in the context of heritage sector
+      network analysis.
+      
+      **RELATIONSHIP TO PersonConnection**:
+      
+      `PersonConnection` is a subclass/specialization that includes
+      additional metadata about the connection relationship (degree,
+      heritage relevance, etc.). `SocialNetworkMember` is the base
+      class for any network member.
+      
+      **USE CASES**:
+      
+      1. LinkedIn connection network analysis
+      2. Heritage sector professional mapping
+      3. Cross-institutional collaboration discovery
+      4. Alumni and association network analysis
+      
+      **SEMANTIC PATTERN**:
+

+      **DEFINITION**:
+      
+      ConnectionDegree captures the "distance" in a social network graph:
+      - **1st degree**: Direct mutual connection
+      - **2nd degree**: One person between viewer and connection
+      - **3rd+ degree**: Two or more people between
+      
+      **IMPORTANT**: The degree is relative to the VIEWER (person conducting
+      the search), NOT the target profile being analyzed. See AGENTS.md Rule 17.
+      
+      **SEMANTIC PATTERN**:
+      
+      ```
