Position RiC-E12

Definition

The functional role of a Person within a Group.

Scope notes

Position is a kind of Agent. Position is the intersection of a Person and a Group. Position exists independently of the Person that holds the Position within a Group. More than one Person may hold a Position. Position is commonly defined in a Mandate, often called a position description or job description. The Mandate may specify the work to be performed (Activity) as well as the competencies for performing the Activity. A Position is often given a Name. A Position may be tied to a project or to a set of tasks and thus have a defined duration. A Position may change over time, as the Group that establishes it changes over time. Position is not to be confused with Occupation or Activity. Within the records created by a Corporate Body, a Position may be used to identify the record sets resulting from activities performed by one or more persons holding the Position over time, without necessarily identifying or describing the Person or persons, or identifying which records were created by each Person.
