PDME — Issue: Alignment of OMG Person/Party models

Summary: Problem: There are differences between the interfaces for Person in
the PdmResponsibility module and in the PIDS. In general, these two
models reflect different concerns for the management of Person
and Party objects, but they have identifiably common attributes
that will also no doubt be part of any Party Management proposal,
which we may expect to be implemented by Human Resource Management
systems. Because of the coupling of Human Resource Management with
PDM and ERP systems in the manufacturing operations environment, it will
be necessary for Manufacturing to have a common basis model for Person
and Party that extends across these systems. An initial cleanup of
unnecessary nomenclature differences will facilitate this.
