This is a union type used in Stencila Schema for the author property of AuthorRole.

It exists to provide a readable alias for the node types that can appear in that property, instead of using the much longer generated union name PersonOrOrganizationOrSoftwareApplicationOrThing. The Thing variant is intended only for anonymous or otherwise unidentified authors when none of the more specific variants is appropriate.

See AuthorRole.author for the property that uses this union.
