| 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. | |
