Thank you everyone for your quick responses as well as the options you have identified. I now will take a closer look at the modelling solutions identified to better understand them and to identify how each would address the example I am trying to work out.

However things like committee memberships are actually attached to your membership of the orgainsation... if person X is on a committee and then retires and person Y is appointed to her post, it does not automatically make Y a member of the committee, other committee memberships may be explicitly for people with certain posts. > > Finally you have relationships to or between individuals themselves, however these will generally be out of the scope about what an organisation cares about. > > One area this has mattered for me is in producing linked data from a conference. http://programme.ecs.soton.ac.uk/ -- I ended up inventing an "Affiliation" class as I needed to represent the same person speaking in two different sessions and with a different affiliation.
