Abstract

this paper, I define a role as a life role: for example, doctor, student, scoutmaster, professor, member of a professional organization, etc. These roles may or may not map to specific email addresses. Within the context of email, role and identity are often conflated, particularly since people tie identities to roles that are in turn tied to an email address. No guarantees of transitivity exist for any combination of role, identity or email address, meaning that you cannot rely on an address to map to a particular role or identity or vice versa
