Membership primary entities

PartySummary – Top level summary of a Party, which provides a set of basic data to identify a Party. A Party represents any sort of business organization or person. Most contact browser applications should query and display PartySummary information (after the operator makes a selection) and then query for the full Party record.

You generally query for Party (not its subclasses) and check the object type if you want detailed Person or Organization information.
