: Is schema.org/Person useful for a personal home page? What are the pros and cons of annotating a personal home page with the http://schema.org/Person microformat?

@Ogunnowo487

If the homepage contains content about the person, then providing structured data about this person makes sense. And with the vocabulary Schema.org, the appropriate type would be Person.


For conveying that the page is authored by that person, you could use:
WebPage author Person
For a page that is about the person (typically a separate "About" page, but sometimes the homepage is used for this), you could use:
WebPage about Person
In that case it’s probably also the primary entity:
WebPage mainEntity Person
etc.


(And you should provide this structured data not only on the homepage if the person is also relevant to other pages on the site.)

As you tagged your question with privacy:

In general, using structured data can make your content more visible/prominent/accessible/popular/….

Either you want the world to know about the person (in which case using structured data can make this more effective), or you don’t (in which case you should probably not provide the content publicly in the first place).
