Controlled vocabularies

AnnouncementSourceEnum

The evidence tier the announcement_date came from, in DESCENDING trust. It travels with the value so a buyer can weight or exclude the weaker tiers themselves rather than take a single date on faith.

value	meaning
`disclosed`	A publication date stated by the issuer or the exchange. Strongest.
`http_last_modified`	The Last-Modified header served for the filing URL.
`pdf_creation_date`	The filing PDF's own /CreationDate metadata. Weakest of the three.

EntityStatusEnum

Whether the entity is currently operating, as last observed.

value	meaning
`active`	Operating and current at the last observation.
`inactive`	Dissolved, delisted, merged away or otherwise no longer operating.
`unknown`	No status evidence held. Not a synonym for inactive.

EntityTypeEnum

What kind of thing the entity is. `natural_person` is deliberately ABSENT: natural persons are never published in Certvas entity tables, and the published tender views filter them out under a Soda check. Omitting the value from the vocabulary makes that structural rather than a rule someone has to remember.

value	meaning
`company`	A legally incorporated company.
`fund`	A collective investment vehicle.
`gov_body`	A government body, agency or state organ.
`other`	A legal entity that is none of the above.

IdentifierTypeEnum

The identifier scheme a value belongs to.

value	meaning
`ticker`	An exchange ticker symbol. Only unique together with exchange_mic.
`isin`	ISO 6166 International Securities Identification Number.
`figi`	OpenFIGI Financial Instrument Global Identifier.
`cik`	SEC EDGAR Central Index Key.
`registry`	A national company-registry number.
`other`	A scheme none of the above covers.

PartyRoleEnum

The role a party plays in a procurement process.

value	meaning
`buyer`	The contracting authority.
`supplier`	A party awarded a contract.
`bidder`	A party that bid without (yet) being awarded.

PartyTypeEnum

What kind of party this is. `natural_person` EXISTS here but is filtered out of every published view — sole traders genuinely appear in procurement source data, so the pipeline must be able to classify them in order to exclude them. Modelling the value is what makes the exclusion checkable.

value	meaning
`company`	An incorporated supplier or bidder.
`gov_body`	A government body.
`natural_person`	An individual. NEVER published — filtered from all released views.

PeriodTypeEnum

The length of the reporting period the value describes.

value	meaning
`FY`	Full fiscal year.
`H1`	First half.
`H2`	Second half.
`Q1`	First quarter.
`Q2`	Second quarter.
`Q3`	Third quarter.
`Q4`	Fourth quarter.

RelationshipTypeEnum

The nature of a parent/child link between two entities.
