Here and below it might be better to say 'A category...' rather than 'The
category...'. THis is in line with other DCMES definitions and indicates
that the element can be repeated.
As discussed at the meeting, I would argue it is better to say 'A class of
entity...' rather than 'A category of user...' though I wouldn't
particularly want to push this at this stage. We don't use 'user' in any
of the other element definitions - we always use 'entity' instead.
