That presumes that the roles are exposed in the page; they may be if or,
say a producer, but often using the verb ("produced by..."), and
frequently are not, We don't need to say that Beethoven is a composer,
when saying "Beethoven's fifth". That's clear to a human (well, mist
humans of any western education!) from context; but not to a machine.
Before anyone cries "hidden metadata", how often to we explicitly say
that "Mabbett" is my family name?, or that "21 High street" is a street
address?
