To model joint ownership, an artificial ‘arrangement’, owned by the two parties responsible for it, should be included within a chain of ownership.

To update a previous statement, a new beneficial ownership statement, with a replacesStatement
property is required.
In the (fictional) example below, the previous statement that Chris Taggart has 100% ownership of Chrinon Ltd is replaced by a new statement showing 50% ownership. A separate statement declares that the owner of the other 50% has not yet been identified.
Note that only changed statements need to new statement identifiers.
