Revise person roles for creator and contributor

[matthewhorridge]

In a meeting this morning with RADx-rad it was determined that we need to distinguish between different kind of PI role. There are center PIs that have subprojects underneath them and then PIs for these subprojects. The list of generic roles for RADx metadata, which is based on data cite, doesn't really fit nicely with these notions at first glance. This needs some investigation and we need need to, possibly, revise the list of roles.

Things to do:

• Review data cite inspired roles
• Decide on which roles are appropriate to RADx
• Decide on whether we need additional roles and what these should be
• Develop a classification in the form of an ontology for these roles
• Update the metadata template to include these roles
• Patch the template
• Patch instances
• Update instances in the data hub

• Creator Roles used in the specification, Contributor Roles
• Datacite metadata schema that contains the roles

@yancao77, perhaps, would you be able to extract a list of roles used for creator and contributor from metadata JSON files and paste them into a comment here?

The roles used for creators and contributors from the metadata JSON files are as follows:

Creator Role:	Pref Label	Count
Project Leader	498
Data Manager	498
Data Collector	498

Contributor Role: This field is empty for all metadata instances.
