It seems to me that question of "context" needs to be addressed before those task descriptions will have much value. I'm thinking that Roles differ from country to country, and in most cases, by health-care setting within a country. So just starting here we have a three-level hierarchy (Country -> Setting -> Role). Once that's established, Responsibilities and Authority can be mapped. Exceptions to Authority would need to be mapped. Now we're at five levels, perhaps six depending on the approach to mapping exceptions. I wouldn't suggest even attempting to extend this to descriptions of the tasks. Just establishing the taxonomy above would be a huge job; forget about the effort to maintain it over time. Task descriptions would, IMO, make the maintenance task impossible. It seems to me that the value of such a collection would extend _much_ further than the development community.
