23 | /** | |
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. | |
