Role: A part played by an agent in a particular business process. Additional information In ePO, the 'business processes' related to procurement can be 'purchasing', 'tendering', 'evaluating', 'awarding', 'ordering', 'invoicing', etc. The concept of 'role' is different from the concept of 'function'. However, functions can be carried out by procurement-related roles and other domain-related agents. Please refer to the class 'Function' to see the difference.

Remove last paragraph in Additional Information. We no longer have functions in the ontology

In the latest version, ePO 3.0.1, the concept of AgentInRole is used with the following definition:

Relative concept that ties an agent to a part they play in a given situational context.
