# person # person An individual: name, demographics, identification, citizenship and the biographical detail the source records. Represents an individual person with comprehensive personal information including name, demographics, identification, citizenship status, and biographical details. The question it answers ## Who owns it, and what does that imply? A deed names its parties as strings. Resolving those strings to a person and a mailing address is what separates an owner-occupant from an investor, and what links one owner to the rest of a portfolio. Other classes answering this question ## Why it matters Ownership is the question this class exists to answer. A deed names parties as strings, and turning those strings into people is what separates an owner-occupant from an investor and links one owner to the rest of a portfolio. ## In practice Name parsing is the work. County records are upper case, comma-ordered, inconsistently suffixed, and carry markers that are not part of a name — trustee abbreviations, estate markers, and a deceased marker among them. The normaliser carries checked-in vocabularies for suffixes, surname prefixes and company keywords, and the presence of a deceased marker and a trustee abbreviation in those lists is the sign they were written against real deed data rather than invented. The first decision is whether a party string is a person at all, because the same field carries both individuals and entities. ## Properties | Property | Type | Definition | | --- | --- | --- | | `source_http_request` | `object` | HTTP request configuration for retrieving this data. | | `request_identifier` | `string | null` | Identifier value that should be substituted into the source HTTP request to retrieve this specific data. | | `birth_date` | `string | null` | A birth date is the date on which a person was born.
