Hi folks
Why not 'actor'? (as in; someone who has performed an action). It's not
restricted to persons (a corporate body can be an 'actor') and is more
informative than 'name'. I'd prefer something like 'entity', the
FRBR/RDA use of the word 'entity' might cause confusion.

of course that would eliminate non-human living entities. So, in order
not to be anthropomorphic, how about:

Along those lines, and perhaps conforming to B. Eversberg's notion of
"involver", perhaps a slightly less loaded term (but admittedly not
entirely neutral!) would be: perpetrator. Abbreviated in relator codes
to: perp.
