Duplicate Person/Role Objects

Database users sometimes tend to create person objects together with every new submission, resulting in duplicate person objects. This damages the coherent integrity of the database since a 'real world' relation fails to be reflected to the representation in the database.

Example

The following two objects are duplicate. Notice that the nic-hdl's of the two objects are different.
