module Sipity
# A role is a responsibility to do things. That is to take actions. It is
# easy to conflate a person's role with the groups to which they belong.
# A group is a set of people. The association of group with role
# indicates that the set of people have the same responsibilities.
#
# By separating Group and Role, we expose a more rich system in which we
# can talk about group membership separate from the group's
# responsibility.
#
# Another way to think of it is that a Group is a marco that expands to
# represent people. A Role is a macro that expands to represent
# responsibilities. In keeping them separate we can model more rich
# relationships.
#
# @note Roles should be verbs. They are what you do.
#
# @note This model representes the "roles" that users of the system can
# have. It is not the "role" that they had in relation to the scholarly
# work that is being deposited (i.e. co-author on a paper).
#
# @see Sipity::Agent
