# Organization

An organization is a formal grouping of people formed to carry out certain activities together. In Politigraph, organizations are stored as nodes of type **`Organization`**. Since organizations can be of various types, we use the `classification` property to specify those types.

## Parliament, MPs, Senators, and Cabinet

The Thai Parliament (รัฐสภาไทย) has a `classification` of _PARLIAMENT_ and will have child organizations in the `children` property with different `classification` values such as:

- **House of Representatives** (สภาผู้แทนราษฎร): _HOUSE_OF_REPRESENTATIVE_
- **House of Senate** (วุฒิสภา): _HOUSE_OF_SENATE_
- **Cabinet** (คณะรัฐมนตรี): _CABINET_

```graphql
query Query($where: OrganizationWhere) {
  organizations(where: $where) {
    id
    name_en
    classification
    founding_date
    dissolution_date
    children {
      id
      name_en
      classification
      description
      founding_date
      dissolution_date
    }
  }
}
```

Variables:

```json
{
  "where": {
    "classification": {
      "eq": "PARLIAMENT"
    }
  }
}
```

## Political Parties

Political parties are also classified as **`Organization`** with a `classification` of _POLITICAL_PARTY_. Here are all the political parties we have in the database.

```graphql

  organizations(where: $where) {
    id
    name
    name_en
    color
  }
}
```

Variables:
