------------------------------------------------------------------
http://www.universaldatamodels.com/Portals/9/udm_Publication_Articles_11_05_Models_Patterns.pdf is quite interesting. I though note that in Figure 4 there is no PartyRole. I tend to find this way of modelling the most adapted to OFBiz even if it adds a bit of abstraction. So I believe we should not engage in "Adding lifespan fields to PartyRole and dependency refactoring" and continue rather to use and extend the [Entity]Role model as in figure 4. It seems that's also what the majority thinks, so I propose to close this issue and possible related ones as "Won't fix"
The alternative would be to use the dat model proposed in Figure 9. But IMO it's better to decouple the 2 models (business and architecture data models) and only possibly use the specific one (business model) "on paper" to explain things to shareholders and alike...
