 /**
 24  
  * 
 25  
  * This service acts as a facade on the entity information that is provided
 26  
  * through the IdentityService and provides a "person-centric" view of that 
 27  
  * entity data.
 28  
  * 
 29  
  * <p>In general, the Person object flattens out the various related pieces of
 30  
  * entity data into a denormalized view on that data.  In many cases, that
 31  
  * data will have a defined "default" value in the entity data model.  This
 32  
  * default data is what the Person object will be constructed with.  For
 33  
  * example, an entity can have more than one name, but one of those names
 34  
  * is flagged as the default.
 35  
  * 
 36  
  * <p>This service will do it's best to construct valid Person objects even
 37  
  * for entities that don't have an entity type of "PERSON".  In those cases
 38  
  * not all of the attributes on the Person object will be populated.
