Improve the definition of the cfPers entity #4

Open jdvorak001 opened 6 years ago

jdvorak001 commented 6 years ago

CERIF 1.6.1 has:

A person (plural: persons or people; from Latin: persona, meaning "mask") is a being, such as a human, that has certain capacities or attributes constituting personhood, the precise definition of which is the subject of much controversy. Definition Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Person

This is a so simple concept that it is very hard to formalize... we should found a way to explain that a cfPers entity can be used only for "real" person to avoid forced use to introduce concepts like the name card

lremy commented 6 years ago

The definition from wikipedia is not very useful for our case. I propose the following one:

A human being regarded as an individual.

We can also mix it with the following:

a human being as distinguished from an animal or a thing.

Outcome of our discussion at the TG virtual meeting today:

A human being as an individual.

The kind of involvement of a Person in the research ecosystem is specified in the links with the organisations, the services, etc. This typically includes: (1) researchers (Persons performing research in an Organisation Unit); (2) authors and contributors (Persons signing a publication, creators of data sets, etc.); (3) investigators and project participants (Persons involved in a project as principal investigators, co-investigators, project managers, etc.); (4) support staffs (administrative, responsible for Equipment, data curators, technicians, librarians, etc.). One Person typically has many of these relationships.
