Description:

This profile describes the social perception of a person—i.e. classified by a group, the whole society, or a portion of it—as having a social, professional, or political quality in the generic sense of a social type, in opposition to a specific, legally defined function.

This is therefore in opposition to the occupation of a specific position, which can comes with rights and obligations, and documented in the profile Person - Social or Professional Position.

This profile is also in opposition to the carrying of an occupation activity (instead of the perception of this activity), which is described in the profile Person - Occupation Activity.

A more specified profile to describe religious affiliation is documented in the profile Person - Religious Affiliation.
