Person Object

The job details in the person object are considered to be a point in time view and are not intended to provide a historical view of the persons employment.

{
   ...
   "dn": "distinguished name",
   "workExperienceSummary": "general statement about person's work experience",
   "contactPreference": "general statement about person's contact preferences",
   "jobCategory": "job category id",
   "employeeNumber": "employee serial number",
   "employeeType": "employee type code",
   "shift" : "work shift"
 }

Example:

{
   ...
   "dn" : "cn=James M Snell, o=ibm.com",
   "workExperienceSummary" : "I've done a lot of work on this stuff",
   "contactPreference" : "Please use my corporate instant messaging to contact me first. If I'm not available, use my mobile number"
   ...
 }

Group IDs @colleagues = organizational peers (e.g. people in same department, people with the same report to chain/network, etc)

@manager= report to chain / network (e.g. management chain)
@reports = people who report to this person
@assists= people for whom this person is an assistant
@colleagues = people with the same manager

<mdw Apr 11>
Would like to propose we change reportsTo to manager.
Added colleagues. This gives us the ability to do the entire org chart now.

   ...
 }

 "emails" : {
   "work":["...","..."],
