Organizational Change Event

https://publicschema.org/OrganizationalChangeEvent

draft

A significant reorganization, such as a merger, split or takeover of functions, after which at least one organization has a new identity. Its authority is the organization that decided or reported the change. Earlier organizations and their past acts stay identifiable. A name correction that keeps identity can use RecordLifecycleEvent without introducing a successor organization.

Properties

Property	Type	Definition
Identifiers from Event	`concept:Identifier`	Identifiers carried by this entity, such as national ID numbers, program IDs, or identifiers asserted by an identity document.
Original organizations	`concept:Organization` includes PublicOrganization, EducationProvider, ProducerOrganization	Organizations that existed before this material organizational change. Participation in a change does not itself assert that each organization ceased to exist.
Resulting organizations	`concept:Organization` includes PublicOrganization, EducationProvider, ProducerOrganization	Organizations created or materially changed by this event. A new organizational identity must not replace the identity of the issuer on its predecessor's historical acts.
Lifecycle kind	`concept:CodedValue`	The kind of change that the event reports.
Effective at	`datetime`	The date and time at which the change or decision took effect, which can be earlier or later than when it was recorded. For the day from which a ConsentRecord or PrivacyNotice applies, use effective_date.
Recorded at	`datetime`	The date and time the statement or event was entered into its source record. It can differ from when the fact took effect.
Authority	`concept:Organization` includes PublicOrganization, EducationProvider, ProducerOrganization	The organization responsible for the act or event a record describes, such as the body that receives an application, decides a case, reviews an appeal, inspects a subject or takes a measure. Each class using it states which of these roles applies. It links to an Organization, whereas issuing_authority names the issuer of a document or credential as text.
Evidence assertions	`concept:EvidenceAssertion`	Statements identifying sources that support or contradict this statement.
Legal resources	`uri`	Identified legal provisions or policy resources that a service, organization, decision, measure, representation or institutional change relies on. A link does not execute a rule or establish which version is applicable. For the legal basis for processing personal data, use legal_basis.

Evidence

Standard	Equivalent	Match
W3C ORG 2014	Change Event	close
W3C ORG Recommendation 16 January 2014 supplies the original/resulting organization pattern for a material change with distinct identity. PublicSchema adds registry recording and effective timestamps and does not implement the PROV activity interval or ORG property-chain entailments.
