Persona or role is essentially a way of way of articulating that an identity has facets that may or may not be pertinent/required in the context of a transaction. Admittedly, as it’s currently understood, identity is a flat, system-level construct that usually is invoked in a binary relationship with a resource, rather than as a way of making a declaration about identity ‘state’. One option, in my mind, is creating another term for the technical aspects of role, and co-opting the term to encapsulate the social or economic relationships in the human world.
