Definition

An instance of this DRM class provides identification of, and means of communication with, person(s) and organization(s) associated with the data set being described.

In the documentation for this class, the phrase "the data set" refers to "the data set being described by the given <Responsible Party> instance". This, in turn, refers to the object tree rooted at the aggregate of the <Responsible Party> instance.

If a <Responsible Party> is shared by multiple aggregates, "the data set" refers to the collection of object trees rooted at its various aggregates.
