Coarse role taxonomy over standardized titles
title_role.RdCollapses the ~250-value title.standard vocabulary (produced by
titleclassifier) into four coarse roles used by cross-organization
linkage and by interlock studies:
BOARDGovernance body and its officers – board/trustee members and the elected governance officers (president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, chair) whether or not prefixed with
BOARD. Per the interlock use case, the governance triad (president/treasurer/secretary) is treated asBOARD, notOFFICER.OFFICERPaid executive leadership – the C-suite (
CHIEF ... OFFICER,CEO/CFO/COO/...), executive director, general manager, general counsel, comptroller. These are the management officers, distinct from the volunteer governance officers above.STAFFOther paid employees – functional directors (
DIRECTOR OF ...,MEDICAL DIRECTOR), functional vice presidents (VICE PRESIDENT OF ...), managers, coordinators, administrators, clerks, generic employees.OTHERAnything not matched above – role-specific or organization- specific titles (e.g.
CHAPLAIN,SERGEANT AT ARMS,HISTORIAN,CONSULTANT,MILITARY). Unmatched titles land here by design so the classifier is safe on the tail of the vocabulary; audit them withtitle_role_coverage()and pin exceptions via theoverridesargument.
