Body

A Body is a committee, subcommittee, working group, or other organised body that owns meetings and decisions. It carries a short code (e.g. ISO/TC 154, CIML) and a localised full name.

Body replaces the bare String previously used for Meeting.committee and Meeting.committee_group — those fields are now typed Body, so a committee can carry its own localised name, kind, and parent body instead of a label.

# Inline — the Body carries full data
committee:
  code: CIML
  kind: committee
  name:
    - spelling: eng
      value: International Committee of Legal Metrology
    - spelling: fra
      value: Comité international de métrologie légale

Reference vs inline

Like Contact and Venue, a Body field follows the three-tier entity resolution pattern:

# 1. Inline — full data, neither ref nor local_ref set (above)

# 2. Document-scoped — local_ref matches the code of a Body in the
#    same document's bodies[] collection (e.g. Meeting#bodies)
committee: { local_ref: CIML }
bodies:
  - code: CIML
    name:
      - spelling: eng
        value: International Committee of Legal Metrology

# 3. Global register — ref resolves against a BodyRegister
committee: { ref: urn:edoxen:body:oiml:ciml }

The reference? predicate is true when ref or local_ref is set; when either is set, other fields are ignored.

Unlike Contact and Venue, Body has no urn attribute — a Body is identified by its code (or by a full URN carried in ref). See Body Register for how lookups match.
