is primitive | true |
natural language definition | A potential that is assigned to an object. |
primitive rationale | 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. |
Comment | 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. |
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). | |
