kempersc f7bf1cc5ae Refactor schema slots and classes
- Deleted obsolete slot definitions: statement_summary, statement_text, statement_type, status_name, supersede_articles, supersede_condition, supersede_name, temporal_dynamics, total_amount, typical_contents, use_cases, was_acquired_through, was_fetched_at, was_retrieved_at.
- Updated existing slot definitions for states_or_stated to enhance clarity and structure.
- Introduced new classes: Article, ConditionofAccess, FinancialStatementType, MaximumQuantity, Series, Summary, Type, and their respective slots to improve schema organization and usability.
- Added new slots: changes_or_changed_through, has_or_had_condition_of_access, has_or_had_heritage_type, is_or_was_part_of_series, is_or_was_retrieved_at, maximum_of_maximum to capture additional metadata and relationships.

description: "Founding legal document (articles of association, statuten, akte van oprichting)\nthat establishes a heritage custodian organization.\n\n**WHAT ARE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION?**\n\nArticles of Association (also known as statutes, charter, bylaws, or deed of\nincorporation depending on jurisdiction) are the foundational legal document\nthat establishes an organization's:\n\n- Legal name and registered office\n- Purpose/objects (doelstelling)\n- Governance structure (board composition, voting)\n- Membership rules (for associations)\n- Capital structure (for companies)\n- Amendment procedures\n- Dissolution procedures\n\n**TERMINOLOGY BY JURISDICTION**:\n\n| Country | Term | Notes |\n|---------|------|-------|\n| Netherlands | Statuten, Akte van oprichting | Notarial deed required |\n| Germany | Satzung, Gesellschaftsvertrag | Varies by legal form |\n| UK | Articles of Association | Memorandum + Articles |\n| USA | Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws | State-specific |\n| France\
\ | Statuts | Association loi 1901 |\n\n**CRITICAL TEMPORAL PARADOX**:\n\nFor legal forms that REQUIRE articles at registration (e.g., Dutch stichting, BV),\nthe articles EXIST BEFORE the organization officially exists:\n\n```\nTimeline:\n\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\nT\u2081: Notary drafts articles \u2190 Articles exist, organization does NOT\nT\u2082: Notary executes deed \u2190 Articles finalized, organization still doesn't exist\nT\u2083: Registration with KvK \u2190 Organization comes into legal existence\nT\u2084: First day of operations \u2190 Organization now has\

- Represents founding legal documents (statuten, articles of incorporation)
- 'Handles PRE_EXISTENCE paradox: articles exist before organization exists'
- Links to CustodianLegalStatus via rico:documents relationship
- NOT linked to CustodianAdministration during PRE_EXISTENCE stage
- Version chain via supersedes/superseded_by relationships
- RiC-O rico:Record as primary ontology class
- Jurisdiction and LegalForm determine registration requirements
