Consider adding a datatype for standard identifiers for persons
I was talking to someone who works on metadata at the BnF, and she said they use ISNI identifiers for persons. For example, here's their record on Marcel Proust:
https://catalogue.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/cb119207126
It refers to this ISNI representing Proust:
http://isni.org/isni/0000000121003911
Some interesting information about ISNI](http://www.bnf.fr/en/professionals/isni_about.html) on the BnF's web site.
The person I spoke to mentioned that Google (via YouTube) has decided to use ISNI.
I believe BEOL uses GND and VIAF identifiers. I think Knora provide built-in support for these sorts of identifiers, perhaps by adding a new datatype.
