          description: An ephemeral identifier used only in the Person API to adhere to the [JSON:API specification](https://jsonapi.org/format/#document-resource-object-identification). This ID may change if a person is split into two people or two people are merged into one person. This ID is used for paginating results or following other links returned in the API response. This ID should not be stored in a consuming system. Concatenating parts of the URL to form a link is discouraged. Instead, use the fully-formed links returned in an API response.
      - name: fields
        in: query
        description: Specify the list of fields you would like to return for each resource type.  For example, `fields[people]=firstName,lastName` will just return the names for people.  If you are including related resources with 'includes' you can also specify fields on those resources as well.  For example, `includes=jobs&fields[people]=jobs&fields[jobs]=title` will just return titles for jobs.  See [Sparse Fieldsets](https://jsonapi.org/format/#fetching-sparse-fieldsets) for more details.
