Hi Laura, We currently have the "sameAs" property in "Person" (and in "Organization") which is defined as: "URL of a reference Web page that unambiguously indicates the item's identity. E.g. the URL of the item's Wikipedia page, Freebase page, or official website." I've had a quick look at the ISNI website and it looks like ISNI identifiers are in the form of a persistent URI, and I believe ORCID is the same, so perhaps the existing "sameAs" property can immediately be used for the ISNI/ORCID URI? Please correct me if I've misunderstood anything!
