Object template

Person Info

Person Info is a CASRAI object template capturing the core identifying details of a person, including name, date of birth, and gender.

Person Info records the core details that facilitate identification of a person, including their name components, date of birth, and gender. It is typically recorded once and referenced wherever a person needs to be identified across other objects in a structured research-information record.

The object reflects the person entity used in the CASRAI-derived structured object model, allowing systems to represent an individual’s identity consistently.
