| name | folio-classify-entity |
| description | Classify a legal entity using the FOLIO ontology's actors_players and legal_entities taxonomy branches. Use when the user asks to classify, categorize, or identify the type of a legal entity — corporations, LLCs, trusts, partnerships, individuals, government agencies, courts, or any legal actor/role. Also use when the user needs to determine whether an entity is an actor/player (role or participant) or a legal entity (organization type), or when tagging entities with ontology terms. |
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:
-
Search for matches: Use folio:search_concepts with the entity name or description to find candidate entity types in FOLIO.
-
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)
-
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.
