Q: How to handle the entity relationships with the extra data needed?

Options:
 * Polymorphic Associations: http://www.fleegix.org/articles/2008-01-03-rails-polymorphic-associations-and-migrations
  * Single Many-to-Many Reference Table which includes a 'type' reference for which sub-table it refers to.
 * A Many-to-Many table for each 'type'.
 * Single-Table Inheritance: http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/browse_thread/thread/d9715e7b751c1e56
  * A single table containing all information, with unnecessary information ignored.

Q: Including system users? (BluePrintAuthenticationAccess)
 * currently we automatically add new registrations as people as well.

This then feeds these other Modules:
 * Disaster Victim Identification
 * Disaster Victim Registry: http://wiki.sahana.lk/doku.php?id=doc:dvr:english
 * Missing Person Registry: http://wiki.sahana.lk/doku.php?id=doc:mpr:english
 * Volunteer Management: http://www.cs.trincoll.edu/hfoss/wiki/User_Guide_for_the_VM_Module
