Question

Which person is this, and which records identify that same person?

Nodes

Person; ProfilePage; Verified profile; Creative work

Relationship sketch

profile.mainEntity → person
work.author → person
person.sameAs → exact identity reference

Evidence inputs

Owner-approved public name, actual profile records, bylines, and relationship evidence.

Implementation

Allocate one stable person identifier. Keep the person separate from biography documents, user accounts, businesses, and people with similar names. Leave unknown properties unset.

Acceptance checks

Person and biography page have different identifiers
Identity links are reviewed for an exact match
No unverified credential is published

Do not infer

A descriptive biography, account handle, or confident name match does not prove identity.

Publication boundary

Approved identity facts may be public; supporting sensitive records stay private.
