Researcher

Information about a researcher involved in a project (MPD records this information as lists of people). Uncertain if we want to include all of this information in the EMS

Here is an example 

"people":[
    {"address":"Madison, WI, USA",
    "affiliation":"University of Wisconsin",
    "comments":[],
    "email":"attie@biochem.wisc.edu",
    "fax":"",
    "firstName":"Alan",
    "lastName":"Attie",
    "midInitials":"D",
    "phone":"",
    "roles":[{"@id":"#role/1",
        "annotationValue":"investigator",
    "comments":[],
    "termAccession":"http://www.ebi.ac.uk/efo/EFO_0001739","termSource":"EFO"}]
    }, ...
]
