Establishing a relationship between the author and the website / article

[Kosta Kriyonas]

Hi all! I have integrated the author's markup into an article markup. To link the author to the article in a semantic context, I used the mainEntityOfPage attribute. The link to the article of the autor is marked as "WebPage" and has the property "@id" (see example below).

Is this method correct, to establish the relationship between a person (the author) and a web page (the article) with the "mainEntityOfPage"-attribute?

<script type="application/ld+json"> {

 "@context": "https://schema.org",
 "@type": "Article",
 "headline": "Definite Proof that Clark Kent isn't Superman",
 "datePublished": "2022-03-07",
 "description": "Why does everyone think that Clark Kent might be Superman? He is not and here is proof.",
 "author": {
     "@type": "Person",
     "name": "Lois Lane",
     "url": "https://www.example.com/blog/lois-lane.html",
     "image": "https://www.example.com/blog/portrait-lois.jpg",
     "email": "content...@example.com",
     "jobTitle": "Content Editor",
    "sameAs": [ 
        "https://www.facebook.com/lois.lane",
        "https://www.linkedin.com/lois.lane",
        "https://www.instagram.com/lois.lane" ],
      "mainEntityOfPage":{
         "@type": "WebPage", 
         "@id": "https://www.example.com/blog/clark-kent-not-superman.html" } 
    }
}
</script>

I would say the "Article" is the main entity of the page and the "Author" is the author of the article. The "author" is embedded to the "Article" object as a property already.

The Article is a Creative Work that exists on the WebPage and is Authored by the Person.

<script type="application/ld+json"> {

 "@context": "https://schema.org",
 "@type": "Article",

     "mainEntityOfPage":{
         "@type": "WebPage",
         "@id": "https://www.example.com/blog/clark-kent-not-superman.html" },

 "headline": "Definite Proof that Clark Kent isn't Superman",
 "datePublished": "2022-03-07",
 "description": "Why does everyone think that Clark Kent might be Superman? He is not and here is proof.",
 "author": {
     "@type": "Person",
     "name": "Lois Lane",
     "url": "https://www.example.com/blog/lois-lane.html",
     "image": "https://www.example.com/blog/portrait-lois.jpg",
     "email": "content...@example.com",
     "jobTitle": "Content Editor",
    "sameAs": [
        "https://www.facebook.com/lois.lane",
        "https://www.linkedin.com/lois.lane",
        "https://www.instagram.com/lois.lane" ]
     
    }
}
