Person structured-data missing name?

Question

I have this on my page:

<div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Person">
  <a href="john.html" itemprop="url">John W</a>
</div>
<div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Person">
  <a href="chloe_m.html" itemprop="url">Chloe M</a>
</div>
...

But all my items have errors: Missing: name

What is wrong?

Answer 1

I think you just need to add an element with itemprop="name", like so:

<div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Person">
    <a href="john.html" itemprop="url">
        <span itemprop="name">John W</span>
    </a>
</div>
<div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Person">
    <a href="chloe_m.html" itemprop="url">
        <span itemprop="name">Chloe M</span>
    </a>
</div>

Have a look at the microdata examples at the bottom of this page
