I would have understood the definition much better if it was <i>A single, identifiable agent who makes a cohesive set of contributions to a shared outcome.</i>. But your definition leaves me mystified, as the role is not an agent but a set of contributions. How can a person or a group of persons have a role at all by this definition? There's obviously something I'm missing or misunderstanding. Dale,

As I see this definition of role, it focuses on a … set of contributions rather than an identifiable agent.

I would have understood the definition much better if it was A single, identifiable agent who makes a cohesive set of contributions to a shared outcome.. But your definition leaves me mystified, as the role is not an agent but a set of contributions. How can a person or a group of persons have a role at all by this definition?

There’s obviously something I’m missing or misunderstanding.

It's the just the sort of thing that captures my attention, and makes me want to explore the detail and minutae ... My problem arises when I try to assign what you've written to the word <i>Role</i> ... are you connecting that definition to the traditional meaning of the word? If so, would you be willing to share how? Thanks in advance for your time and trouble!

My problem arises when I try to assign what you’ve written to the word Role … are you connecting that definition to the traditional meaning of the word? If so, would you be willing to share how?

Thanks in advance for your time and trouble!
