Description
Person.identifier
was added in #427 in pursuit of alignment with the OCDS Beneficial Owners extension. However, we omitted adding a disclaimer like the one in the extension documentation:
to use this extension, the laws in your jurisdiction must permit the publication of personal identifiers.
I think that we should add a similar disclaimer to the reference documentation for the Person
subschema.
To reduce the chances of implementers unnecessarily publishing personal identifiers, I think that we should also include a clarification that Person.identifer
is only relevant in the context of Organization.beneficialOwners
(the Person
subschema also appears in the context of Organization.people
, relating to the CoST IDS element 'Contract officials and roles', for which personal identifiers are not relevant).
At the same time, we can update the changelog entry for #427, which presently only mentions Organization.beneficialOwners
, to include Person.identifier
and the other fields added to the Person
subschema.
@jpmckinney sound good?
