Classify a Legal Entity with FOLIO

Classify a legal entity against the FOLIO ontology's actors_players (roles and participants) and legal_entities (organization types) taxonomy branches.

Workflow

Given an entity name or description, follow these steps:

1. Search for matches: Use folio:search_concepts with the entity name or description to find candidate entity types in FOLIO.

2. Check both branches: Entities can appear in two branches:

   • Use folio:get_taxonomy_branch("actors_players") to check roles and participants (e.g., Plaintiff, Trustee, Shareholder)
   • Use folio:get_taxonomy_branch("legal_entities") to check organization types (e.g., Corporation, LLC, Trust)

3. Get full details: Use folio:get_concept(iri) on the best match to retrieve the complete definition, translations, identifiers, and cross-references.

Output Format

Return the classification as:

• FOLIO Label: The official FOLIO concept name
• FOLIO IRI: The concept's unique identifier (e.g., https://folio.openlegalstandard.org/...)
• Definition: The FOLIO definition of this entity type
• Branch: actors_players (role/participant) or legal_entities (organization type)
• Confidence: high / medium / low
• Reasoning: Brief explanation of why this classification was chosen

If the entity could be classified in both branches (e.g., "Trustee" is both a role and relates to Trust as an entity type), note both classifications.
