Hi Emad,

PARTY_GROUP and PERSON are root type for other.

If you identify a party as CORPORATION by relation is a PARTY_GROUP.

on demo data you have this :

<PartyType description="Legal Organization" hasTable="N"
parentTypeId="PARTY_GROUP" partyTypeId="LEGAL_ORGANIZATION"/>

<PartyType description="Corpration" hasTable="N"
parentTypeId="LEGAL_ORGANIZATION" partyTypeId="CORPORATION"/>

So you can read as a corporation is a specialization of a legal organization that is a specialization of a party group.
This help to qualify a party with force this nature.

My question is, why we have other values in the seeded party types table like the following? In other words, if I assign something like 'Legal Organization' as party type, is there other logic path to handle it as it's not a party group or a person and as I understand each party can be assigned one party type only!
