Using Microdata - HTML5 Foundations - page 164

Schema.org has a specific schema for the Person item. Again, I have omitted some of the more obscure properties,
but you can see them all at http://schema.org/Person .
• givenName —When defining a person's name, you can use more specific properties than the general name
property. The givenName (or first name) is one of these.
<span itemprop="givenName">Joe</span>
• additionalName —The additionalName property can be used for a person's middle name.
<span itemprop="additionalName">Antonio</span>
• familyName —Finally, there is a property for the family name.
<span itemprop="familyName">Balochio</span>
• gender —You can also specify a person's gender.
<span itemprop="gender">Male</span>
• birthDate —A birthDate can be a very useful piece of data. From a birth date, you can calculate
someone's age and birthday.
<time itemprop="birthDate" datetime="1966-10-06">
6th October 1966
</time>
• deathDate —If you are creating a history website, you might find the deathDate property useful.
<time itemprop="deathDate" datetime="1920-01-23">
23rd January 1920
</time>
The Person item also has properties for defining contact details: telephone , faxNumber , and email . You can
see how to use these properties in the example of a LocalBusiness item.
