Multiple property in Schema.org JSON-LD

I am trying to make a JSON-LD like this:

????: {
"@type": "Person",
"jobTitle": "CEO",
"givenName": "Name",
"familyName": "Name",
"email": "mailto:[email protected]"
}

What should I write where the "????" are, if the given information is both for employee, and founder?

Solution

  • I think JSON-LD doesn’t allow multiple properties for the same value.

    But instead of repeating the data …

    "employee": {
  "@type": "Person",
  "name": "John Doe"
},
"founder": {
  "@type": "Person",
  "name": "John Doe"
}

    … you could define the Person only one time, give it an URI, and reference this URI as value for employee and founder:

    "@type": "Person",
"@id": "/team/john-doe#i",
"name": "John Doe"

    "employee": {"@id": "/team/john-doe#i"},
"founder":  {"@id": "/team/john-doe#i"}

    (details and a complete example with @id)
