Changes From Earlier Versions
As of Registry v5.0.0
- OrgIdentity was split into ExternalIdentity and ExternalIdentityRole.
- ExternalIdentity directly relates to Person (a Person may have multiple External Identities, but an External Identity can only belong to one Person). The CoOrgIdentityLink crosswalk has been eliminated and Organizational Identity Pooling support has been dropped.
