Hi All,

I'm seeing a lot of use cases for persistent identifiers for people. In the STEM world, the ORCID [1] is widely used. Some publishers (like the one I work for) require authors to have an ORCID. There is an overlapping system called ISNI [2]. These are real-world scenarios that already have ecosystems supporting them.
