I created a test collection using the things/v2 schema. I went to the fastapi docs to post a test Thing, and I saw this:

I have no idea where author_id is coming from, or why it is shown here.

If any field should be singled out here, it should be pid.

Ah, this is probably an identifier that is used as a value for the submitter tagging, right?

If that is true, it would be useful to use consistent naming, ie. submitter_id.
