| isPrimitive | true |
| naturalLanguageDefinition | A potential that is assigned to an object. |
| primitiveRationale | Making the notion of assignment (to a task) fully precise is beyond the scope of IDO. With complex intentions notions of obligation, which are often required in role assignments, this is particularly clear. |
| usageNote | As with any 'potential', the existence of a role is dependent on its bearer. A particular meeting room's role may therefore not be transferred to a different room; a different role individual with similar classification would be needed. |

| hasRole | |
| Example | The role an individual person takes in a work situation, such as a manager. A student role. |
| The role of an interior space (a 'site') as a meeting room is realized when it serves as the space for conducting meetings. The site may be assigned a storage room role at a different time. | |
| scopeNote | This class is intended to serve the same purpose as the ISO 15926-2:2003 'role' entity type, as well as the same-named BFO class (BFO_0000023). |
