I thought that might be it.  The general issue of 
names and roles played in transactions comes up.  
Master Names Indexes are a generalized business 
data module.  Most systems dealing with humans 
in any transaction have them.  The issue of where 
these fit in the OASIS framework of standards is 
mostly one of efficiency.

The problem of overlapping HumanML with identity 
beyond the process of identification is that this 
will overlap almost any business application you 
can think of.   That is why Master Names Indexes 
are separate tables and business rule systems 
in public safety systems.   My intuition is that 
HumanML becomes more germane in a process where 
self-identification through a process of using 
reference groups to acquire a vocabulary and 
a set of behaviors and skills is the domain 
of interest.  That is the domain of sociology. 
And HR system might be interested in such data 
and might share a Master Names Index to access 
it.   The notion of involvements is germane.  

For example, criminological systems pay a lot 
of attention to the reference groups of an individual 
to establish where they best fit on the scale 
of criminality and then use that profile to 
determine how best to handle the individual.  
For example, the scale ranges from the 
criminally insane (a psychopath, best treated 
medically) to a criminal professional (a 
sociopath in that they choose crime as a 
profession but normal in most other respects, 
so best treated by incarceration with the 
exception that prisons are the universities 
of advanced criminal skills and techniques).

BTW:  Crime is a location-dependent service 
as well.  Criminal behavior systems use 
crime types to help classify criminal types.
