Family — concept-area seed

This seed reserves the separately owned Family concept area under accepted CUST-ADR-006 R6. It is not an authored model, schema, taxonomy, or legal determination. Further modeling requires a named consumer demand signal.

Distinguishing structure

Family concerns kinship, guardianship, dependency, care, and legal, biological and social parenthood. These relationships can change over time, coexist, diverge, or be subject to interpretation. This seed names the modeling questions; it does not settle their definitions or prescribe a universal family structure.

Family is not one more CollectiveActor. It is distinct from the domestic arrangements represented by Household in ITC-ORG. A household and family relationships may intersect without being interchangeable. No Family subtype is added to the organization or identity models.

Privacy sensitivity

The donor glossary flags the combined Family Or Household entry as privacy-sensitive and says it “may have legal implications outside the canon's scope.” The Family seed retains that concern. Kinship, care, dependency and parenthood assertions can concern multiple people and contested or sensitive circumstances. This document contains no personal records and does not establish who may record, disclose, verify or act on such assertions.

Open modeling questions

  • Which concrete consumer purpose requires Family semantics, beyond household, membership or contact records already modeled elsewhere?
  • How should kinship, care, dependency and guardianship remain distinct without forcing them into a single relationship or collective-actor structure?
  • How should legal, biological and social parenthood coexist when they differ?
  • How should a future model represent change over time, different viewpoints, uncertainty and contested assertions without deciding them by default?
  • What source, evidence, scope and jurisdiction context would each assertion require, and which determinations belong to an external authority?
  • What information is necessary for the named purpose, whose interests are affected, and what privacy and disclosure constraints must the consumer supply?

These questions are intentionally unanswered. There are no relationship type codes, cardinalities, lifecycle rules, authorization rules or implementation requirements in this seed.

Provenance and continuation

The federation ledger splits the original Family Or Household glossary entry: Household goes to itc-org under T12; Family is reserved here under T13. The donor revision remains 4bb474970b73d500da03b6482e84e6c256146b79. Original research is unchanged.

CFED-WP-0001-T07 owns research disposition, T08 owns interface cards, and T10 owns any demand-backed residual handoff before project closure. There is no approved Family model implementation or consumer adoption commitment.
