# Session Summary: Legal Entity Refactoring Complete

**Date**: 2025-11-22  
**Schema Version**: 20251121  
**Session Focus**: Complete refactoring of entity type model to proper legal entity classes

---

## Executive Summary

Successfully replaced the flat `EntityTypeEnum` with a comprehensive, ontology-aligned legal entity model consisting of 8 new classes and updated 7 slot definitions. This refactoring provides proper legal entity classification following ISO 20275 standards, TOOI patterns, and W3C Registered Organization Vocabulary (ROV).

**Key Achievement**: Transformed simple string-based entity type tracking into a fully structured, temporal, jurisdiction-aware legal entity model suitable for formal organizational description.

---

## What Changed

### 1. New Classes Created (8 classes)

#### Core Legal Entity Classes (4)

1. **LegalEntityType** (`modules/classes/LegalEntityType.yaml`)
   - Replaces top-level entity type classification
   - Two values: PERSON, ORGANIZATION
   - Based on fundamental legal distinction in civil law
   - Maps to: `org:classification`

2. **LegalForm** (`modules/classes/LegalForm.yaml`)
   - ISO 20275 Entity Legal Forms (ELF) codes
   - 1,600+ legal forms across 150+ jurisdictions
   - Structured with: `elf_code`, `country_code`, `local_name`, `abbreviation`
   - Maps to: `rov:orgType`, `gleif:hasLegalForm`

3. **LegalName** (`modules/classes/LegalName.yaml`)
   - TOOI-inspired structured name model
   - Fields: `full_name`, `name_without_type`, `display_name`, `language`
   - Distinguishes legal name from operational name
   - Maps to: `rov:legalName`, `tooi:officieleNaamInclSoort`

4. **RegistrationInfo** (`modules/classes/RegistrationInfo.yaml`)
   - Container for 4 registration-related sub-classes
   - Manages official registration data with temporal validity

#### Registration Sub-Classes (4)

5. **RegistrationNumber** (within RegistrationInfo.yaml)
   - Official registration identifiers (KvK, EIN, charity numbers)
   - Includes `type`, `temporal_validity`
   - Multivalued (organizations can have multiple registrations)
   - Maps to: `rov:registration`

6. **RegistrationAuthority** (within RegistrationInfo.yaml)
   - Body that registers organizations
   - Fields: `name`, `abbreviation`, `jurisdiction`, `website`
   - Maps to: `rov:hasRegisteredOrganization`

7. **GovernanceStructure** (within RegistrationInfo.yaml)
   - Internal organizational structure
   - Supports: `hierarchical`, `matrix`, `flat`, `network`
   - Maps to: `org:hasUnit`, `org:OrganizationalUnit`

8. **LegalStatus** (within RegistrationInfo.yaml)
   - Current legal status (ACTIVE, DISSOLVED, SUSPENDED, MERGED)
   - Temporal validity tracking
   - Maps to: `schema:status`, `gleif-base:hasEntityStatus`

---

### 2. Updated Slot Definitions (7 slots)

#### Replaced Simple Slots with Class Ranges

| Old Slot | Old Type | New Slot | New Type | Status |
|----------|----------|----------|----------|--------|
| `entity_type` | enum | `legal_entity_type` | LegalEntityType | **Replaced** |
| `legal_form` | string (pattern) | `legal_form` | LegalForm | **Updated** |
| `legal_name` | string | `legal_name` | LegalName | **Updated** |
| `registration_number` | string | `registration_numbers` | RegistrationNumber (multivalued) | **Replaced** |
| `registration_authority` | string | `registration_authority` | RegistrationAuthority | **Updated** |
| `legal_status` | LegalStatusEnum | `legal_status` | LegalStatus | **Updated** |
| `governance_structure` | string | `governance_structure` | GovernanceStructure | **Updated** |

#### Deprecated Files

Moved to `.deprecated` extension:
- `modules/slots/entity_type.yaml.deprecated`
- `modules/slots/registration_number.yaml.deprecated` (singular)

#### New Slot Files Created

- `modules/slots/legal_entity_type.yaml` (NEW)
- `modules/slots/registration_numbers.yaml` (NEW, pluralized)

## Critical Rules Established

### Natural Persons (PERSON)

- ❌ **Cannot** have `legal_form` (individuals are not "incorporated")
- ⚠️ **May not** have `registration_numbers` (unless sole proprietor)
- ✅ Identity established through biographical sources
- ✅ Can be CustodianReconstruction if they had formal custodial role

**Example**: Private collector with documented provenance

### Legal Persons (ORGANIZATION)

- ✅ **Must** have `legal_entity_type.code = "ORGANIZATION"`
- ✅ **Must** have `legal_form` (ISO 20275 code)
- ✅ **Must** have `registration_numbers` (with temporal validity)
- ✅ **Must** have `registration_authority`
- ✅ Governance structure documented
- ✅ Legal status tracked over time

**Example**: Stichting Rijksmuseum (Dutch foundation)

### Informal Groups

- ❌ **NOT** CustodianReconstruction if lacking legal status
- ✅ Remain as `CustodianObservation` only
- ✅ Can be upgraded to CustodianReconstruction if they become registered
- ✅ Track change from informal → formal in provenance

**Example**: Neighborhood historical society (unregistered) → only observation

---

## Validation Rules

### Schema-Level Constraints

1. **Legal Entity Type + Legal Form Consistency**
   ```yaml
   # Valid: ORGANIZATION with legal form
   legal_entity_type:
     code: "ORGANIZATION"
   legal_form:
     elf_code: "8888"
   
   # Invalid: PERSON with legal form
   legal_entity_type:
     code: "PERSON"
   legal_form:  # ❌ ERROR!
     elf_code: "8888"
   ```

2. **Registration Numbers Temporal Validity**
   - Must have `begin_of_the_begin` date
   - `end_of_the_end` optional (null = still valid)
   - Temporal spans must not overlap for same registration type

3. **Legal Status Transitions**
   - Only certain status changes are valid:
     - ACTIVE → DISSOLVED ✅
     - ACTIVE → SUSPENDED ✅
     - SUSPENDED → ACTIVE ✅
     - DISSOLVED → ACTIVE ❌ (cannot un-dissolve)

### Data Quality Checks

1. **ISO 20275 Code Validation**
   - `elf_code` must be 4 characters
   - Must match jurisdiction in `country_code`
   - Validate against ISO 20275 CSV: `data/ontology/2023-09-28-elf-code-list-v1.5.csv`

2. **Registration Authority Validation**
   - Authority must be appropriate for jurisdiction
   - KvK → Netherlands only
   - Companies House → UK only
   - IRS → United States only

3. **Legal Name Structure Validation**
   - `full_name` should include type (e.g., "Stichting X")
   - `name_without_type` should exclude type (e.g., "X")
   - `display_name` typically matches `name_without_type` or shorter

## Testing Strategy

### Unit Tests Needed

1. **LegalEntityType validation**
   - Test PERSON cannot have legal_form
   - Test ORGANIZATION requires legal_form
   - Test invalid code rejection

2. **LegalForm validation**
   - Test ISO 20275 code format (4 characters)
   - Test country code validation (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2)
   - Test jurisdiction consistency

3. **LegalName validation**
   - Test required fields
   - Test language code validation (ISO 639-1)
   - Test name component relationships

4. **RegistrationNumber validation**
   - Test temporal validity constraints
   - Test multivalued scenarios
   - Test overlap detection

5. **LegalStatus validation**
   - Test status transition rules
   - Test temporal validity
   - Test status code enumeration

### Integration Tests Needed

1. **Complete CustodianReconstruction validation**
   - Test valid ORGANIZATION with all fields
   - Test valid PERSON with appropriate fields
   - Test rejection of invalid combinations

2. **Provenance linking**
   - Test reconstruction derives from observation
   - Test legal entity data matches source

3. **RDF serialization**
   - Test ontology mapping URIs
   - Test temporal validity in PROV-O
   - Test ROV compliance

### Real Data Tests

1. **Dutch institutions** (TOOI compliance)
   - Test KvK registrations
   - Test Stichting legal forms
   - Test Dutch name patterns

2. **International institutions**
   - Test ISO 20275 coverage
   - Test jurisdiction-specific authorities
   - Test multilingual names

## Breaking Changes

### API Changes

**Old**:

custodian.entity_type  # returns: "ORGANIZATION"
custodian.legal_form   # returns: "V44D"
custodian.legal_name   # returns: "Stichting Rijksmuseum"
```

**New**:
```python
custodian.legal_entity_type.code   # returns: "ORGANIZATION"

```

### Query Changes

**Old SPARQL**:
```sparql
SELECT ?custodian WHERE {
  ?custodian heritage:entity_type "ORGANIZATION" .
  ?custodian heritage:legal_form "V44D" .
}
```

**New SPARQL**:
```sparql
SELECT ?custodian WHERE {
  ?custodian heritage:legal_entity_type ?let .
  ?let heritage:code "ORGANIZATION" .
  
  ?custodian heritage:legal_form ?lf .
  ?lf heritage:elf_code "8888" .
}
```
