Person

This is an implementation of schema.org Person.

In Stencila Schema it is used for authorship, contribution, contact, and bibliographic metadata while integrating with Stencila Schema role and provenance models. The schema.org model is preserved, with richer contribution semantics often added via AuthorRole and related types.

Key properties are usually inherited from Thing, especially name, identifiers, contact details, and affiliations.

Analogues

The following external types, elements, or nodes are similar to a Person:

  • schema.org Person

  • JATS <name>: Approximate JATS analogue for person identity in document metadata, though JATS personal-name structures are not equivalent to a reusable person entity node.
