PropertyExpected TypeTMPC Mappingdescription
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.
alternateName
Text
An alias for the item.
description
Text
A description of the item.
disambiguatingDescription
Text
A sub property of description. A short description of the item used to disambiguate from other, similar items. Information from other properties (in particular, name) may be necessary for the description to be useful for disambiguation.
identifier
The identifier property represents any kind of identifier for any kind of Thing, such as ISBNs, GTIN codes, UUIDs etc. Schema.org provides dedicated properties for representing many of these, either as textual strings or as URL (URI) links. See background notes for more details.
image
An image of the item. This can be a URL or a fully described ImageObject.
mainEntityOfPage
Indicates a page (or other CreativeWork) for which this thing is the main entity being described. See background notes for details.

potentialAction
Indicates a potential Action, which describes an idealized action in which this thing would play an 'object' role.

Instances of SpeakableSpecification may appear with as a value for the following properties
PropertyOn TypesTMPC Mappingdescription
speakable
Indicates sections of a Web page that are particularly 'speakable' in the sense of being highlighted as being especially appropriate for text-to-speech conversion. Other sections of a page may also be usefully spoken in particular circumstances; the 'speakable' property serves to indicate the parts most likely to be generally useful for speech.
The speakable property can be repeated an arbitrary number of times, with three kinds of possible 'content-locator' values:
1.) id-value URL references - uses id-value of an element in the page being annotated. The simplest use of speakable has (potentially relative) URL values, referencing identified sections of the document concerned.
2.) CSS Selectors - addresses content in the annotated page, e.g. via class attribute. Use the cssSelector property.
3.) XPaths - addresses content via XPaths (assuming an XML view of the content). Use the xpath property.
For more sophisticated markup of speakable sections beyond simple ID references, either CSS selectors or XPath expressions to pick out document section(s) as speakable. For this we define a supporting type, SpeakableSpecification which is defined to be a possible value of the speakable property.
