Slot: identifiers

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.
