Position

Since v3.5.0

A post, role or position within an organization or body. This describes a position one or more people may occupy and not the occupation of the post by a specific individual at a specific point in time. 'subnationalArea' should be used to further restrict the scope of the position. It should not simply represent some regional aspect of the role - e.g. the constituency of a national member of parliament - when their legislative jurisdiction is nationwide.

Semantics

FollowTheMoney has well-defined semantics for different representations of entities, for example in a network graph or in a timeline.

  • In a network graph, entities should be represented as a vertex.
  • In a timeline, inceptionDate should be used as the temporal start. dissolutionDate should be used as the temporal end.
  • Position entities have no temporal extent, i.e. they are not suitable for representation in a timeline.
