'Person' is a very important shared type that describes people in the system. The properties of person are common across all people, i.e. birth date, birth place, relatives. There are over 500,000 typed in the system and more will be added. If someone is missing, please feel free to add them. People will often carry other types as well, such as author, basketball player, or recording artist. Properties that are particular to those pursuits should be included in those types, not in the person type. Similarly, it is recommend that 'birth date' and properties of the person schema not be replicated in other types. Instead, 'person' should be an 'included type' for these types, which means that when a topic is typed 'author' it will also be automatically typed 'person' and the properties of person will be added as well.
