Person schema

The node that Organization, LocalBusiness, founder edge and author references all point at, and the authorship half of an entity graph. One Person, one stable @id declared on every page that references it, a name, a jobTitle, a url, and a sameAs to at least one profile that links back. It can support a claim that a named human stands behind the site. It cannot support expertise: a Person node with a credentials list is a declaration, and the scanner's E-E-A-T proxy rows read only whether it is declared and corroborated, not whether it is true.
