Identify the appropriate forum, venue, or governmental body using the FOLIO ontology's forum_venues and governmental_bodies taxonomy branches.

Workflow

Given a description of a legal dispute or regulatory matter, follow these steps:

1. Search for matches: Use folio:search_concepts with terms describing the forum, court, or regulatory body to find candidates in FOLIO.

2. Browse forums and venues: Use folio:get_taxonomy_branch("forum_venues") to see dispute forums (courts, tribunals), stock exchanges, and dispute venues.

3. Browse governmental bodies: Use folio:get_taxonomy_branch("governmental_bodies") to see federal, state, local, county, tribal, multinational, and regulatory bodies.

4. Drill into the best matches: Use folio:get_children(iri) on the most relevant categories to find specific forums or bodies.

5. Get full details: Use folio:get_concept(iri) on each match for the complete definition, translations, identifiers, and cross-references.

Output Format

Return each applicable forum or body 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 forum or body type
• Branch: forum_venues (courts, tribunals, exchanges) or governmental_bodies (agencies, regulators)
• Relevance: primary (most likely forum) or secondary (alternative or related)
