asin
Text
URL
An Amazon Standard Identification Number (ASIN) is a 10-character alphanumeric unique identifier assigned by Amazon.com and its partners for product identification within the Amazon organization (summary from Wikipedia's article).
Note also that this is a definition for how to include ASINs in Schema.org data, and not a definition of ASINs in general - see documentation from Amazon for authoritative details. ASINs are most commonly encoded as text strings, but the asin property supports URL/URI as potential values too.

depth
The depth of the item.
funding

gtin
Text
URL
A Global Trade Item Number (GTIN). GTINs identify trade items, including products and services, using numeric identification codes.
The GS1 digital link specifications express GTINs as URLs (URIs, IRIs, etc.). Details including regular expression examples can be found in, Section 6 of the GS1 URI Syntax specification; see also schema.org tracking issue for schema.org-specific discussion. A correct gtin value should be a valid GTIN, which means that it should be an all-numeric string of either 8, 12, 13 or 14 digits, or a "GS1 Digital Link" URL based on such a string. The numeric component should also have a valid GS1 check digit and meet the other rules for valid GTINs. See also GS1's GTIN Summary and Wikipedia for more details. Left-padding of the gtin values is not required or encouraged. The gtin property generalizes the earlier gtin8, gtin12, gtin13, and gtin14 properties.
Note also that this is a definition for how to include GTINs in Schema.org data, and not a definition of GTINs in general - see the GS1 documentation for authoritative details.
gtin12
Text
The GTIN-12 code of the product, or the product to which the offer refers. The GTIN-12 is the 12-digit GS1 Identification Key composed of a U.P.C. Company Prefix, Item Reference, and Check Digit used to identify trade items. See GS1 GTIN Summary for more details.
gtin13
Text
The GTIN-13 code of the product, or the product to which the offer refers. This is equivalent to 13-digit ISBN codes and EAN UCC-13. Former 12-digit UPC codes can be converted into a GTIN-13 code by simply adding a preceding zero. See GS1 GTIN Summary for more details.
gtin14
Text
The GTIN-14 code of the product, or the product to which the offer refers. See GS1 GTIN Summary for more details.
gtin8
Text
The GTIN-8 code of the product, or the product to which the offer refers. This code is also known as EAN/UCC-8 or 8-digit EAN. See GS1 GTIN Summary for more details.
hasAdultConsideration
Used to tag an item to be intended or suitable for consumption or use by adults only.
hasEnergyConsumptionDetails
Defines the energy efficiency Category (also known as "class" or "rating") for a product according to an international energy efficiency standard.
hasMeasurement
A product measurement, for example the inseam of pants, the wheel size of a bicycle, or the gauge of a screw. Usually an exact measurement, but can also be a range of measurements for adjustable products, for example belts and ski bindings.
hasMerchantReturnPolicy
Specifies a MerchantReturnPolicy that may be applicable.
height
The height of an a thing.
inProductGroupWithID
Text
Indicates the productGroupID for a ProductGroup that this product isVariantOf.
isAccessoryOrSparePartFor
A pointer to another product (or multiple products) for which this product is an accessory or spare part.
isConsumableFor
A pointer to another product (or multiple products) for which this product is a consumable.
isFamilyFriendly
Boolean
Indicates whether this content is family friendly.
isRelatedTo
A pointer to another, somehow related product (or multiple products).
isSimilarTo
A pointer to another, functionally similar product (or multiple products).
isVariantOf
Indicates the kind of product that this is a variant of. In the case of ProductModel, this is a pointer (from a ProductModel) to a base product from which this product is a variant. It is safe to infer that the variant inherits all product features from the base model, unless defined locally. This is not transitive. In the case of a ProductGroup, the group description also serves as a template, representing a set of Products that vary on explicitly defined, specific dimensions only (so it defines both a set of variants, as well as which values distinguish amongst those variants). When used with ProductGroup, this property can apply to any Product included in the group.
itemCondition
A predefined value from OfferItemCondition specifying the condition of the product or service, or the products or services included in the offer. Also used for product return policies to specify the condition of products accepted for returns.
keywords
Keywords or tags used to describe some item. Multiple textual entries in a keywords list are typically delimited by commas, or by repeating the property.
logo
An associated logo.
manufacturer
The manufacturer of the product.
material
Product
URL
Text
A material that something is made from, e.g. leather, wool, cotton, paper.
mobileUrl
Text
The mobileUrl property is provided for specific situations in which data consumers need to determine whether one of several provided URLs is a dedicated 'mobile site'.
To discourage over-use, and reflecting intial usecases, the property is expected only on Product and Offer, rather than Thing. The general trend in web technology is towards responsive design in which content can be flexibly adapted to a wide range of browsing environments. Pages and sites referenced with the long-established url property should ideally also be usable on a wide variety of devices, including mobile phones. In most cases, it would be pointless and counter productive to attempt to update all url markup to use mobileUrl for more mobile-oriented pages. The property is intended for the case when items (primarily Product and Offer) have extra URLs hosted on an additional "mobile site" alongside the main one. It should not be taken as an endorsement of this publication style.
model
The model of the product. Use with the URL of a ProductModel or a textual representation of the model identifier. The URL of the ProductModel can be from an external source. It is recommended to additionally provide strong product identifiers via the gtin8/gtin13/gtin14 and mpn properties.
mpn
Text
The Manufacturer Part Number (MPN) of the product, or the product to which the offer refers.
negativeNotes
Provides negative considerations regarding something, most typically in pro/con lists for reviews (alongside positiveNotes). For symmetry
In the case of a Review, the property describes the itemReviewed from the perspective of the review; in the case of a Product, the product itself is being described. Since product descriptions tend to emphasise positive claims, it may be relatively unusual to find negativeNotes used in this way. Nevertheless for the sake of symmetry, negativeNotes can be used on Product.
The property values can be expressed either as unstructured text (repeated as necessary), or if ordered, as a list (in which case the most negative is at the beginning of the list).
nsn
Text
Indicates the NATO stock number (nsn) of a Product.
offers
An offer to provide this item—for example, an offer to sell a product, rent the DVD of a movie, perform a service, or give away tickets to an event. Use businessFunction to indicate the kind of transaction offered, i.e. sell, lease, etc. This property can also be used to describe a Demand. While this property is listed as expected on a number of common types, it can be used in others. In that case, using a second type, such as Product or a subtype of Product, can clarify the nature of the offer.
pattern
A pattern that something has, for example 'polka dot', 'striped', 'Canadian flag'. Values are typically expressed as text, although links to controlled value schemes are also supported.
positiveNotes
Provides positive considerations regarding something, for example product highlights or (alongside negativeNotes) pro/con lists for reviews.
In the case of a Review, the property describes the itemReviewed from the perspective of the review; in the case of a Product, the product itself is being described.
The property values can be expressed either as unstructured text (repeated as necessary), or if ordered, as a list (in which case the most positive is at the beginning of the list).
productID
Text
The product identifier, such as ISBN. For example: `` meta itemprop="productID" content="isbn:123-456-789" ``.
productionDate
Date
The date of production of the item, e.g. vehicle.
purchaseDate
Date
The date the item, e.g. vehicle, was purchased by the current owner.
releaseDate
Date

reviews
Review of the item.
size
A standardized size of a product or creative work, specified either through a simple textual string (for example 'XL', '32Wx34L'), a QuantitativeValue with a unitCode, or a comprehensive and structured SizeSpecification; in other cases, the width, height, depth and weight properties may be more applicable.
sku
Text
The Stock Keeping Unit (SKU), i.e. a merchant-specific identifier for a product or service, or the product to which the offer refers.
slogan
Text
A slogan or motto associated with the item.
weight
The weight of a thing.
width

additionalType
URL
An additional type for the item, typically used for adding more specific types from external vocabularies in microdata syntax. This is a relationship between something and a class that the thing is in. In RDFa syntax, it is better to use the native RDFa syntax - the 'typeof' attribute - for multiple types. Schema.org tools may have only weaker understanding of extra types, in particular those defined externally.
