Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) References See Also Examples

Person implements a representation of a learner: persons have names, competences, positions – calculated from the activity traces that are stored about them. Such traces are implemented as so-called Performance.

1	Person(name, domain)

`name`	Character string with the realname of the Person.
`domain`	Reference pointing to a `Domain` object.

Persons should best be added using the HumanResourceManager, rather than instantiating them directly. This way, the HR manager maintains a record of all persons of interest in the analysis.

The constructor 'initialize' returns the object.
