That would indeed make putting contact info in the db very flexible. I don't
think we should put the role in the URI field, because there already is a
role object in the db, and two ways to specify a role will probably cause a
bit of a mess. I think adding the URI field to the irt, role and person
objects would be enough to structure the information.

Otherwise I think this a good idea to consider.
