schema:PropertyValue

Definition

A property-value pair, e.g. representing a feature of a product or place. Use the 'name' property for the name of the property. If there is an additional human-readable version of the value, put that into the 'description' property.\n\n Always use specific schema.org properties when a) they exist and b) you can populate them. Using PropertyValue as a substitute will typically not trigger the same effect as using the original, specific property.

Scope

Parent class(es): StructuredValue (https://schema.org/StructuredValue).

CDIF

Definition

schema:PropertyValue in the AdditionalProperty role - a key/value extension property carrying a propertyID (property name) and a value, optionally with a unit. Used wherever schema:additionalProperty appears. See CDIFDiscoveryImplementationGuide.md (Polymorphism of PropertyValue) for the distinction from Identifier.

JSON serialization: In a JSON instance, a property typed as AdditionalProperty may also be supplied as an object reference ({"@id": ...}); a plain string is not sufficient because both the property name and its value are required.

Attributes

Name	Type	Multiplicity	Description
propertyID	string	[1]	Documentation Original Reference schema:propertyID Definition A commonly used identifier for the characteristic represented by the property, e.g. a manufacturer or a standard code for a property. propertyID can be (1) a prefixed string, mainly meant to be used with standards for product properties; (2) a site-specific, non-prefixed string (e.g. the primary key of the property or the vendor-specific ID of the property), or (3) a URL indicating the type of the property, either pointing to an external vocabulary, or a Web resource that describes the property (e.g. a glossary entry). Standards bodies should promote a standard prefix for the identifiers of properties from their standards. Scope Domain: PropertyValue (https://schema.org/PropertyValue). Range: Text (https://schema.org/Text), URL (https://schema.org/URL). CDIF Definition identifier or name for the property concept Scope schema:propertyID - identifier of the property being asserted (e.g. 'horsepower', 'serialNumber'). Either a literal string or a URI from a known vocabulary.
name	string	[0..1]	Documentation Original Reference schema:name Definition The name of the item. Scope Domain: Thing (https://schema.org/Thing). Range: Text (https://schema.org/Text). CDIF Definition A descriptive name of a dataset (e.g., 'Snow depth in Northern Hemisphere'). The name should uniquely identify the described resource for human use, in the scope of the metadata catalog containing this metadata record. Scope schema:name - human-readable label for the property (often equal to propertyID).
value	string	[1]	Documentation Original Reference schema:value Definition The value of a [[QuantitativeValue]] (including [[Observation]]) or property value node.\n\n* For [[QuantitativeValue]] and [[MonetaryAmount]], the recommended type for values is 'Number'.\n* For [[PropertyValue]], it can be 'Text', 'Number', 'Boolean', or 'StructuredValue'.\n* Use values from 0123456789 (Unicode 'DIGIT ZERO' (U+0030) to 'DIGIT NINE' (U+0039)) rather than superficially similar Unicode symbols.\n* Use '.' (Unicode 'FULL STOP' (U+002E)) rather than ',' to indicate a decimal point. Avoid using these symbols as a readability separator. Scope Domain: MonetaryAmount (https://schema.org/MonetaryAmount), PropertyValue (https://schema.org/PropertyValue), QuantitativeValue (https://schema.org/QuantitativeValue). Range: Boolean (https://schema.org/Boolean), Number (https://schema.org/Number), StructuredValue (https://schema.org/StructuredValue), Text (https://schema.org/Text). CDIF Definition the reported result of the quality measure, either as a string or a defined term from a vocabulary Scope schema:value - the property value (literal).
unitText	string	[0..1]	Documentation Original Reference schema:unitText Definition A string or text indicating the unit of measurement. Useful if you cannot provide a standard unit code for <a href='unitCode'>unitCode</a>. Scope Domain: PropertyValue (https://schema.org/PropertyValue), QuantitativeValue (https://schema.org/QuantitativeValue), TypeAndQuantityNode (https://schema.org/TypeAndQuantityNode), UnitPriceSpecification (https://schema.org/UnitPriceSpecification). Range: Text (https://schema.org/Text). CDIF Definition unit of measurement as text Scope schema:unitText - unit of measure for the value (textual).
unitCode	XsdAnyUri	[0..1]	Documentation Original Reference schema:unitCode Definition The unit of measurement given using the UN/CEFACT Common Code (3 characters) or a URL. Other codes than the UN/CEFACT Common Code may be used with a prefix followed by a colon. Scope Domain: PropertyValue (https://schema.org/PropertyValue), QuantitativeValue (https://schema.org/QuantitativeValue), TypeAndQuantityNode (https://schema.org/TypeAndQuantityNode), UnitPriceSpecification (https://schema.org/UnitPriceSpecification). Range: Text (https://schema.org/Text), URL (https://schema.org/URL). CDIF Definition URI or code identifying the unit of measure Scope schema:unitCode - unit of measure for the value (URI from a known vocabulary, e.g. UCUM, QUDT).
