Notes: 3.1.2

Any person can represent the same organization 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, and so must be a full resource reference by identifier.
