Library authority data does separate persons and corporate bodies, and  
also adds another category called "family" (the latter used heavily in  
archives when a family is the primary focus of an archival collection,  
either as subjects or as creators).

Note that it does allow these same entities to be change agents  
(creators, publishers, whatever) as well as subjects of a resource.
