4. Person (Range: 400 - 499)

1. Scope & Definition

The Person entity category establishes the global identification and routing standards for individuals, professionals, and occupational specialists.

Unlike businesses or organizations, which have multiple native subclasses (e.g., Restaurant or Hospital), the global metadata standard Schema.org keeps the representation of physical individuals entirely flat. There are no native subclasses like Chef, Politician, Architect, or Doctor; only the universal Person class exists.

To bridge this semantic gap, the GSID routing protocol utilizes the primary class prefix 4 (Core Entity) paired with a two-digit Semantic Block acting as an Industry Indicator. While the underlying data record remains strictly a Schema.org Person class, the specific block is designed to signal the professional industry to search engines, crawlers, and Large Language Models (LLMs). The exact occupation is further mapped utilizing the native jobTitle and hasOccupation (linked to an Occupation entity) properties.

2. Schema.org Alignment

The GSID Person classification architecture maps directly to the global structured data standards defined by Schema.org. Specifically, this entity category is built upon the vocabulary of Schema.org/Person, promoting native semantic interoperability.

3. Structural Syntax

Under the global GSID protocol (XX00.000.000000), the Person entity is assigned the three-digit class prefix range 400 to 499.

  • The first digit 4 designates the primary Person schema.
  • The subsequent two digits designate the standardized professional block and industry context.

Syntax Example: DE45.420.000352

  • DE45: Authorized Registrar (e.g., Germany / example.de)
  • 420: Person Category -> Medical Doctor / Physician
  • 000352: Unique individual physical registry serial number
