crvs:Person

https://publicschema.org/crvs/Person

candidate

A temporal snapshot of a Person as observed at the time of a vital event. Carries the same demographic properties as Person, but frozen at event time rather than reflecting current values. Used wherever a vital event needs to record who a person was (occupation, residence, education, etc.) at the moment the event occurred.
