Hi,
that's the way it is.
A simplified description of an example:
There is a list resource containing managers as subresources. When a
manager is appointed to a certain responsibility (e.g. project
management), he/she is added to the list, an URI is created for him/
her and stored in the list resource. The manager is not asked, if he/
she likes it. It's just done, because the employer want's it and
needs it in the business process. Then it's possible to GET (directly
or indirectly) representations of a manager by means of his/her URI
containing: the kind of the responsibility, the person who had
validated the appointment of the responsibility, communication
address data, real world address data, his/her schedule, a picture
perhaps, etc.
These managers are resources "on the web" now, additional to being
human resources of the enterprise.
There are many countries today with a data protection law, where the
data protection officer of the enterprise has to be involved, because
URIs like the ones above are personal data similar to a personal id.
greetings
Klaus
