BodyRegister

The authoritative register of Bodies — committees, subcommittees, and working groups. Parallel to ContactRegister and VenueRegister.

Other documents (Meeting, MeetingCollection) reference bodies via ref: urn:edoxen:body:{scope}:{local-id} and resolve against the matching BodyRegister.

Lookup: matched by code or ref

Body has no urn attribute — a difference from Contact and Venue, whose register members carry urn. BodyRegister#find_by_urn therefore matches the requested value against a member’s code or ref:

register = Edoxen::BodyRegister.from_yaml(File.read("bodies.yaml"))

register.find_by_urn("CIML")
# => #<Edoxen::Body code="CIML" ...>   (matched on code)

register.find_by_urn("urn:edoxen:body:oiml:ciml")
# => matches a member whose ref is that URN

In practice, members are keyed by their short code; a member whose canonical identity is a full URN carries it in ref.
