Schema notes
The canonical MSP-1 v1.0.1 form for author is an object with name and type as required fields.
A stable id is strongly recommended for durable attribution, but it is not required to be a URI. The JSON-LD @type field may appear in compatibility contexts, while type remains the preferred MSP-1 field.
