ICAT schema: add attributes familyName, givenName, and affiliation to User #201

Closed RKrahl closed 5 years ago

This is maybe just a detail: sometimes one may need to distinguish between the family name and the given name for a User. We have fullName, which is likely the combination of both, but it is not always trivial to derive the components from the the combination. Furthermore, also the affiliation may be needed in some cases. We don't have it currently in the schema at all.

This is in a sense related to #200, as these are attributes to be included in DataCite publication metadata. But it may also be needed independently of publications, so I submit this as a separate issue.
