Currently in openMINDS:

LegalPerson:

Person (natural person; properties: affiliation, alternateName, associatedAccount, contactInformation, digitalIndentifier, familyName, givenName)
Organization (artificial person; properties: affiliation, digitalIdentifier, fullName, hasParent, homepage, shortName)

Consortium (no legal capacity; properties: contactInformation, fullName, homepage, shortName) (LegalPerson -> Affiliation --> Consortium)
Affiliation (properties: memberOf, startDate, endDate) (LegalPerson -> Affiliation --> Consortium | Organization)

-> embedded type --> linked type required property

Suggestion for future (TBD):

Person

add name (make this required instead of givenName)
change associatedAccount to account

Organization
add type (controlledTerm: university, hospital, non-profit organization, company, ...?) or split up into distinct types?
add geographicalLocation (link to new schema)

Consortium
should they also get an affiliation?

Affiliation
may need a back link to ResearchProduct(Version) (related to #500)?
