A comment on the Person context (for the others too):

* If you're using @vocab, then you don't need to be explicit about the @id of the properties defined within the context. For example, you can leave out definitions for "name" and "gender", and change "address" and others similar to the following:

{
    "@context" : {
        "@vocab": "http://schema.org/",
        "address" : {"@type" : "@id"},
        ...
    }
}

That's sort of the point of using @vocab.

JSON-LD has no innate knowledge of the range of schema.org properties. When constructing a context, you'd need to add @type: @id to those property definitions as you have done. Note that this is not the type of an entity, but the range of a property. This can be done by looking at the RDFS definition of schema.org [1] and creating appropriate property definitions where feasable. (Also, not this can be done for properties that should take a list of values, such as schema:recipeInstructions. Also useful for types that take various scalar values, such as schema:totalTime taking an xsd:duration. Note that we eventually expect schema.org to publish their own context.

For example, look at schema:publisher [2]; this has domain Organization and range CreativeWork, this implies that the value should be an @id. If you distill this, you get a JSON-LD representation such as the following:

{
  "@context": {
    "owl": "http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#",
    "rdf": "http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#",
    "rdfs": "http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#",
    "schema": "http://schema.org/",
  },
  "@id": "schema:publisher",
  "@type": [
    "rdf:Property",
    "owl:Property"
  ],
  "rdfs:comment": {
    "@value": "The publisher of the creative work.",
    "@language": "en"
  },
  "rdfs:label": {
    "@value": "publisher",
    "@language": "en"
  },
  "schema:domainIncludes": {
    "@id": "schema:CreativeWork"
  },
  "schema:rangeIncludes": {
    "@id": "schema:Organization"
  }
}

For instance, both "presentAddress" and "permanentAddress" are mapped to "http://schema.org/address", "image" is mapped to "http://schema.org/url" and "phoneNumber" to "http://schema.org/telephone" in your context. It seems like a copy-paste error (apparently so if you look at "firstName", "middleName" and "familyName"), and I don't think it is a good idea if it is intentional. You should use the term names as defined in the vocabulary, unless you have some very specific reason otherwise. What is your intention here?
