- **Person** — an officeholder, filed by the jurisdiction they serve. Federal members are enriched with their bioguide ID, leadership roles, and committee seats.
- **Body** — an institution: a chamber, committee, or subcommittee. The "repos" of the government-as-code model. Each lists its leadership; subcommittees name their parent.
- **Body** — an institution: a chamber, committee, subcommittee, or an executive department/agency/office. The "repos" of the government-as-code model. Executive Bodies under `us/executive/` are minted from the Code's own enumerations (5 U.S.C. §§ 101, 5312) and carry the **authority axis** — reciprocal links to the U.S. Code sections that empower them, from `data/section_authority_edges.jsonl`.
- **Candidate** — someone running for office, distinct from a current officeholder. Sourced from FEC filings.
- **Jurisdiction** — a place with a government, carrying Census demographics and/or district edges. A county's node is its directory `index.md`; a **city's** is likewise an `index.md` under `municipalities/`, keyed by Census place GEOID and modelled exactly like a county (place + government fused, officeholders nested beneath); a district's is a file under `districts/`.
- **LegalText** — a single section of statute, filed under its title and chapter. See the [legal corpus](legal-corpus.md).
