Slots

Name	Cardinality and Range	Description	Inheritance
agentType	0..1 Uriorcurie	Designates the concrete Agent subclass of this node (schema:Person or schema:Organization), set from the curated collection_creator.is_person flag.	Agent
identifiers	* recommended String	External identifier strings for the person (e.g. ORCID). Shares schema:identifier with identifier/externalIdentifiers. Curator-recommended ("Creator Identifier — ID"); the backing registry entry carries the 6-arg recommended flag. Although this is a nested Person-level slot, recommending it is consistent with the model's identifiability stance: creator is recommended, and identifier/externalIdentifiers (resource-level) are recommended, so recommending the creator-level identifier extends the same principle rather than introducing a new one. The flag emits as flat property documentation (same as all recommended slots); it does not encode the "nested under a recommended creator" conditionality, which is accepted as an adequate representation. NOTE: there is no separate identifier-TYPE slot on Person, so the "Creator Identifier — Type" recommendation has no distinct emitted slot.	Agent
email	0..1 String	Contact email for the organization.	Agent
location	0..1 Location	Postal address of the organization.	Agent
funder	0..1 Organization	Organization that funded the creation or maintenance of this resource.	Agent
id	1 Uriorcurie	Unique identifier (IRI/URL) for this resource. In JSON-LD, @id represents the globally unique identifier. (Maps to @id; the identifier slot is bound to @id by gen-jsonld-context.)	Thing
identifier	0..1 recommended String	Primary persistent identifier for this resource (e.g., DOI, Handle, ARK, or persistent URL). Can be a simple string or PropertyValue object.	Thing
name	0..1 String	Title or name of the digital object, page, or resource.	Thing
description	0..1 String	Brief description of the data. For datasets: what is included (variables, measurements), method/origin. For software: what it does, access requirements, supported languages.	Thing
url	0..1 Uri	URL to the website that contains and/or describes the digital object or person.	Thing
sameAs	0..1 Uri	URL of a reference web page that unambiguously indicates the item's identity (e.g., ORCID profile, Wikidata entry). NOTE: deliberately NOT mapped to dcat:landingPage — although CreativeWork populates sameAs from the landing page, this is a generic Thing slot (a Person's sameAs is an ORCID, not a landing page), so the landing-page equivalence is builder behavior, not a slot-level fact.	Thing
