People find it difficult to make determination of whether realizable entities are functions, dispositions, or roles. Representative http://precedings.nature.com/documents/3228/version/1 Problematic examples:
Substrate, Product, reagent

Social roles seem clear, being created only in certain types of processes.
Roles of molecules are suspect previous definitions of dispositions characterized them as being lost only when there are structural changes. That wouldn't be true of roles.

There's more, but that's a start.
