Hi Peter
This particular SID domain has gone through changes, it was originally called Engaged Party (or simply Party), and then was rejigged to Business Partner. So all the Party ABEs stayed there, along with additional ABEs that refer specifically to partners. In the Open API schema model (which is not public) the schemas were separated so that we have folders for BusinessPartner and EngagedParty.
I would suggest to get additional clarifications from @Kevin Scaggs, the SID lead.
Hope it helps

Subject: Business Partner Domain & Party Entities
We are in the process of renewing our data model and are using the SID, among other things.
This has given rise to a number of questions in the context of the business partner domain. There are Business Entities "Party Interaction", "Party Problem", "Party ...".
We had expected to find "Business Partner Interaction", "Business Partner Problem" etc. there. We understand Party more generally and not just in the context of Business Partner.
"Party ..." I would expect entities in the pattern or shared domain.
Does anyone have an explanation?
