Terminology Bindings

• Agent.role has the definition AgentRole: "The role a person plays representing an organization"

Notes:

• Any person can represent the same organisation in multiple different ways. This may be represented as a single agent resource with multiple role codes, or multiple agent resources. Which is correct depends on whether the combined roles share other attributes, such as identifiers and time periods.
• The person and organization references are mandatory, so must be a full resource reference by identifier
