Description:
A litigant actor may well have multiple identities, one "real" and one or more alias identities.

Attributes:

• Type- indicates Real or Alias. Name-based web service queries may find a case based on an alias name, so this attribute helps distinguish such "hits".
• ID- this sequence/ordinal number .  This corresponds to each name (real or alias).  If more than one identity/name is to be retained, this should be used as the key for each.  Fr performance reasons, this has a composite value with a required structure using special delimiters:
• I (Identity)
• A sequence/ordinal
  
• The "real" identity should always be Identity I0
  
• Name attributes
• FullName- this is the only name data which is used, and thus the only one required.  The format is: LastName, FirstName [MiddleInitialOrMiddleName].  Example: SMITH, JAMES M JR
• FirstName
  
• MiddleName
• LastName
• Prefix
• Suffix
• Gender- provided to help confirm identity on name-only searches.
• DateOfBirth- if the search was based on date of birth, search hits will contain at least one identity with that DOB.
