Evidence

Not yet found in mapped delivery systems.

Party is a PublicSchema abstract supertype; no mapped system exposes a party supertype by that name, so system_count is reported as 0/6 per the convention stated in design-principles.md section 3. All six systems do distinguish between individual and group-level records and share common identification and naming properties across both, with OpenSPP modelling the split explicitly as "Registrant"; that evidence accrues to the concrete Party subtypes (Person, Household, Family, Farm), not to the supertype itself.

Standard Equivalent Match
Core Person Person (Core Person) related
SEMIC Core Person covers the individual human. Party is the beneficiary-side supertype for persons and organized groups of persons (Household, Family, Farm) that can be enrolled in programs and receive services. The broader SEMIC/foaf:Agent vocabulary for acting entities maps to our Agent concept, not to Party.
