Proposed event-driven approach to person registry identifier assignment
Each SoR record fires an event when it detects a person previously unknown to the SoR. The event label is something like 'noticedNewPerson' and the message will include the {Sorid} and an SoR-generated unique identifier for that person.
Create a Person Registry subscriber to 'noticedNewPerson'; Its only function is to generate a new internal registry identifier, link it to the Sorid-assigned unique identifier and persist that info.
If ID Match is implemented and detects the need to merge two existing identities, send a 'mergeableIdentitiesFound' for the person registry to pick up and process appropriately.
