The TRR379 pool contains definitions for 4 Agent Roles (co-author, contact person, first author, senior author) using PIDs from the Mass Spectrometry Ontology. In particular, the record label "Contact person" is associated with PID http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/MS_1002030 -- however, following that PID link reveals that MS_1002030 is in fact a "modified nucleic acid sequence".

In this knowledge repo, these MS Ontology terms are imports from edu.datalad.org-knowledge, so they will need to be fixed at the source.

Moreover, at least one publication currently in the pool uses MS_1002030 as an author role.

There is http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/MS_1002033 "Role of the contact person". However, the three other roles (co-author, first author, senior author; as well as dataset submitter and lab head) are subclasses of MS1002033 so given the different levels in class hierarchy I don't think this is a matter of a simple PID substitution.

Given the one instance of usage, it seems that it might be closer to original intentions if we introduced a "corresponding author", but MS does not offer that. Quick OLS search reveals http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/NCIT_C164481 (Corresponding Author indicator) but it is an indicator, not a role.

On the other hand, both NCIT (http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/NCIT_C25461) and Snomed (http://snomed.info/id/70862002) offer a contact person.
