Create/Search dialog: let user fill in all identity attributes before create
For certain topic types the Search/Create Dialog already brings up a special panel to solicit more information from the user before creating a topic, e.g. for "Topicmap", "Workspace", "User Account".
The same approach could be used for Identity types in case its identity attribute is composite. E.g. "Person" have a composite identity attribute ("First Name", "Last Name"). The special panel could provide input fields for all the identity attributes then. As a result e.g. a Person topic would be created with both fields ("First Name", "Last Name") already filled in. No need to Edit afterwards just to input her last name.
This idea is in conformance with the concept of "identity attribute", which is considered unique, so the user want fill-in it in most cases anyways.
This idea is generic. It works not only for Person, but for all Identity types.
