Privacy and Attribution

Use stable person IDs in provenance, review, and service records. A public renderer should use privacy.publicName when the full identity is not public and should omit private affiliation or location details unless release is explicitly permitted.

{
  "reviewedBy": [
    {
      "person": "person-priest-001",
      "role": "priest",
      "date": "2026-06-29",
      "scope": "pastoral-review"
    }
  ]
}

The role in a review record describes the person’s responsibility for that review. It does not replace the person’s reusable roles list or a liturgical cast assignment in ServiceInstance.
