AcademicRoles

Title: Academic People and their Roles

Description: I need to represent people of the academic staff. Each person can play different roles in different contexts.

Proposed Solutions (OWL files)
Users	AldoGangemi, MichaelUschold
Domains	Academy, University
Competency Questions	who plays a certain role within that project?
Scenarios	Enrico Motta is the coordinator of the NeOn project

This new pattern imports the objectrole pattern and adds a few things. We need to represent an agent that is playing a role in a given context. This would be most natural to represent as a ternary relation, but for OWL we reify this as a Class called RolePlay (RoleInContext would also be a good name). RolePlay has three properties:

Context (e.g. the NEON project)
Player - the Agent playing the role (e.g. Enrico)
Role - the role being played) (e.g. Coordinator)

We also add some new classes and instances:

Agent and a subclase Person with one instance, Enrico
AcademicRole with two instances: Coordinator and Professor

NB: probably this pattern should be renamed to be something like 'RoleInContext' and then specialized for academic roles in context.
