Representation Role

https://publicschema.org/RepresentationRole

draft

A dated relationship in which a person or organization acts on behalf of a person, organization, group or legal arrangement within a stated scope. Representation is distinct from identity, and recording it does not prove that the representative may take a particular action. A receiving authority can check a mandate that states its powers as codes, its legal basis in legal resources and the instrument that grants it as evidence.

A receiving authority checks them against its own rules; a code does not by itself grant authority to take any action.

Start date	`date`	The date on which this became effective.
