Properties for PropertyValueSpecification ​

PropertyExpected typeDefined onDescription
defaultValueText, ThingPropertyValueSpecificationThe default value of the input. For properties that expect a literal, the default is a literal value, for properties that expect an object, it's an ID reference to one of the current values.
maxValueNumberPropertyValueSpecificationThe upper value of some characteristic or property.
minValueNumberPropertyValueSpecificationThe lower value of some characteristic or property.
multipleValuesBooleanPropertyValueSpecificationWhether multiple values are allowed for the property. Default is false.
readonlyValueBooleanPropertyValueSpecificationWhether or not a property is mutable. Default is false. Specifying this for a property that also has a value makes it act similar to a "hidden" input in an HTML form.
stepValueNumberPropertyValueSpecificationThe stepValue attribute indicates the granularity that is expected (and required) of the value in a PropertyValueSpecification.
valueMaxLengthNumberPropertyValueSpecificationSpecifies the allowed range for number of characters in a literal value.
valueMinLengthNumberPropertyValueSpecificationSpecifies the minimum allowed range for number of characters in a literal value.
valueNameTextPropertyValueSpecificationIndicates the name of the PropertyValueSpecification to be used in URL templates and form encoding in a manner analogous to HTML's input@name.
valuePatternTextPropertyValueSpecificationSpecifies a regular expression for testing literal values according to the HTML spec.
valueRequiredBooleanPropertyValueSpecificationWhether the property must be filled in to complete the action. Default is false.

Inherited properties ​

PropertyExpected typeInherited fromDescription
additionalTypeText, URLThingAn 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. Typically the value is a URI-identified RDF class, and in this case corresponds to the use of rdf:type in RDF. Text values can be used sparingly, for cases where useful information can be added without their being an appropriate schema to reference. In the case of text values, the class label should follow the schema.org style guide.
alternateNameTextThingAn alias for the item.
descriptionText, TextObjectThingA description of the item.
disambiguatingDescriptionTextThingA 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.
identifierPropertyValue, Text, URLThingThe 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.
imageImageObject, URLThingAn image of the item. This can be a URL or a fully described ImageObject.
mainEntityOfPageCreativeWork, URLThingIndicates a page (or other CreativeWork) for which this thing is the main entity being described. See background notes for details.
nameTextThingThe name of the item.
ownerOrganization, PersonThingA person or organization who owns this Thing.
potentialActionActionThingIndicates a potential Action, which describes an idealized action in which this thing would play an 'object' role.

subjectOfCreativeWork, EventThingA CreativeWork or Event about this Thing.
urlURLThingURL of the item.
