I think  the order of elements in the mark-up (like a series of schema:author for a schema:Article) is not sufficient for indicating the order of authors. Please correct me if I am wrong.\r\nHowever, if I am right, then we probably need to model a list of authors as a schema:ItemList with each schema:item having type schema:Person or schema:Organization. That way, though, I lose the succinct abstraction provided by the property schema:author.\r\n\r\nAny thoughts on this is highly appreciated.\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/schemaorg/schemaorg/issues/comments/375233929","html_url":"https://github.com/schemaorg/schemaorg/issues/1864#issuecomment-375233929","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/schemaorg/schemaorg/issues/1864","id":375233929,"user":{"login":"dksanyal","id":32452995,"avatar_url":"https://avatars2.githubusercontent.com/u/32452995?v=4","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/dksanyal","html_url":"https://github.com/dksanyal","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dksanyal/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dksanyal/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dksanyal/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dksanyal/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dksanyal/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dksanyal/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dksanyal/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dksanyal/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dksanyal/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2018-03-22T09:35:32Z","updated_at":"2018-03-22T09:35:32Z","author_association":"NONE","body":"One way, I can think of, to ensure the constraint is to add a property to the new type AuthorList:\r\n\r\nProperty: authorListElement\r\nExpected type (range): Author [subtype of Person and Organization] or AuthorItem [subtype of Item]\r\n\r\nOne should then use this property instead of schema:itemListElement from its parent schema:ItemList.\r\n\r\nTo illustrate it, I provide two examples below.\r\n\r\nExample 1 [no explicit author ordering]:\r\n\r\n<script type=\"application/ld+json\">\r\n{\r\n  \"@type\": \"AuthorList\",\r\n  \"authorListElement\": [{\r\n      \"@type\": \"Author\",\r\n      \"name\": \"Manindra Agrawal\"\r\n    },{\r\n      \"@type\": \"Author\",\r\n      \"name\": \"Neeraj Kayal\"\r\n    },{\r\n      \"@type\": \"Author\",\r\n      \"name\": \"Nitin Saxena\"\r\n    }\r\n  ]\r\n}\r\n</script>\r\n\r\nExample 2 [with explicit author ordering]: \r\n<script type=\"application/ld+json\">\r\n{\r\n  \"@type\": \"AuthorList\",\r\n  \"authorListElement\": [{\r\n     \"@type\": \"AuthorItem\",\r\n     \"position\": 1,\r\n     \"item\": {\r\n        \"@type\": \"Author\",\r\n        \"name\": \"Manindra Agrawal\" }\r\n      },{\r\n      \"@type\": \"AuthorItem\",\r\n      \"position\": 2,\r\n      \"item\": {\r\n        \"@type\": \"Author\",\r\n        \"name\": \"Neeraj Kayal\" }\r\n      },{\r\n      \"@type\": \"AuthorItem\",\r\n      \"position\": 3,\r\n      \"item\": {\r\n        \"@type\": \"Author\",\r\n        \"name\": \"Nitin Saxena\"}\r\n      }\r\n  ]\r\n}\r\n</script>\r\n\r\nRequest you to provide your views and feedback. \r\nAny other suggestions is also deeply appreciated.\r\n\r\nRegards.\r\n"}}
