Class: Person

A person involved in producing, processing or publishing data - a principal investigator, beamline operator, data analyst or curator. In the relational model, Person is lightweight: which study, experiment or workflow a person is attached to, and in what capacity, is carried by the person association tables in Dataset, so one person record serves every role they hold across a dataset.

Comments

  • No slot is required beyond the inherited id. An ORCID alone is a complete identification of a person, and a source that publishes only a name is equally common - so neither can be insisted upon. Where a name is genuinely unavailable, record that fact rather than substituting the identifier for it.

    comments:
    - Overlaps the inherited `title`, deliberately but not redundantly. `title` is
      the display label every NamedThing carries and is what a listing shows ("Clyde
      Smith"); `full_name` is the formal name a citation needs ("Clyde A. Smith").
      They are equal often enough that a consumer reading only one is usually fine,
      so record `title` whenever `full_name` is known - a Person with a formal name
      and no display label is awkward for every UI that treats NamedThing uniformly.
    - Where the two would be identical, carrying only `title` is correct and `full_name`
      adds nothing.
