A representation of people associated with other items in the GeoKB is created using publicly available information from the USGS Staff Profiles, ORCiD records, and public catalogs where people are listed as authors/contributors to published works. The items contain claims for external identifiers like ORCiD ID used to link them with other items and email addresses when those are already part of the online public record. There are items in the GeoKB for people who are no longer affiliated with the USGS but are linked to other information as part of the historic record, and certain transient identifiers such as email or profile page links may no longer be valid but are retained with a date qualifier indicating when they were known to be valid. The GeoKB also does not include a comprehensive set of all current/former USGS staff; it only includes those staff who have elected to have certain professional information in a public forum such as by obtaining an ORCiD identifier and making that information public as an author.
