This class is derived from Record to implement the logical interface to a record in the Participants table. Each entry in this table associates an instance of class Person with a particular event, usually represented by an instance of class Event, and a role in that event. This is to identify individuals who participated in an event but who are not principles in the event.

| 'type' | Specifies what kind of record IDIME points to and the type of event within that record if the record documents multiple events. This is a numeric value of a constant Participant::PTYPE_...
