I spent some time thinking about the distinction between People Resources and Services Resources. Then I spent some time thinking of what would be subclasses of people. Below is the list I came up with. However, it bares striking similarity to what we had envisioned for Related Activity or Area of Research. Looking over at NIF, they defined People Resource as "A resource that provides access to individual people based, for example, on expertise or affiliation" and do not have any child nodes. I think I've come around to the opinion that we should either adopt NIF's approach, or change from having the top level People Resource to Consulting Resource as a child of Service Resource. (then still tbd whether to have children of that- I think I'd vote for not.) Note that we're already not in complete alignment at the top level- NIF has "Job Resource". I look forward to discussion with the group.
