Attributes

Name	Type	Multiplicity	Description
identifier	Identifier	[1]	Documentation Original Reference schema:identifier Definition 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](/docs/datamodel.html#identifierBg) for more details. Scope Domain: Thing (https://schema.org/Thing). Range: PropertyValue (https://schema.org/PropertyValue), Text (https://schema.org/Text), URL (https://schema.org/URL). CDIF Definition The primary identifier for the dataset; other identifiers should be listed in the sameAs field. Schema.org has three ways of encoding identifiers-- a text description, a URL, or by using the schema:PropertyValue field. The Science on Schema.org guidance strongly recommends using the PropertyValue approach. see https://github.com/ESIPFed/science-on-schema.org .... Dataset.md#identifier. Ideally, for any given data provided they would provide identifiers either all as strings or all as identifier_type. Scope @id / schema:identifier - primary resolvable URI for the resource. Required.
name	string	[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 - descriptive name. Required.
description	string	[0..1]	Documentation Original Reference schema:description Definition A description of the item. Scope Domain: Thing (https://schema.org/Thing). Range: Text (https://schema.org/Text), TextObject (https://schema.org/TextObject). CDIF Definition A short summary describing a dataset. This text will be indexed by search applications, so the more information here, the better. Scope schema:description - short summary describing the resource.
additionalType	DefinedTerm	[0..*]	Documentation Original Reference schema:additionalType Definition 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. 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 <a href="https://schema.org/docs/styleguide.html">style guide</a>. Scope Domain: Thing (https://schema.org/Thing). Range: Text (https://schema.org/Text), URL (https://schema.org/URL). CDIF Definition identifiers for datatypes from other vocabularies (not schema.org) that apply to this metadata. Scope schema:additionalType - identifiers for datatypes from other vocabularies (URI or DefinedTerm).
sameAs	Identifier	[0..*]	Documentation Original Reference schema:sameAs Definition URL of a reference Web page that unambiguously indicates the item's identity. E.g. the URL of the item's Wikipedia page, Wikidata entry, or official website. Scope Domain: Thing (https://schema.org/Thing). Range: URL (https://schema.org/URL). CDIF Definition Other identifiers for the dataset, as IRI references, literal strings, or structured identifiers using schema:PropertyValue. Scope schema:sameAs - other identifiers for the resource as IRI references or structured PropertyValues.
version	string	[0..1]	Documentation Original Reference schema:version Definition The version of the CreativeWork embodied by a specified resource. Scope Domain: CreativeWork (https://schema.org/CreativeWork). Range: Number (https://schema.org/Number), Text (https://schema.org/Text). CDIF Definition The version number or identifier for this dataset (text or numeric). The values should sort from oldest to newest using an alphanumeric sort on version strings Scope schema:version - version number or identifier.
inLanguage	XsdLanguage	[0..1]	Documentation Original Reference schema:inLanguage Definition The language of the content or performance or used in an action. Please use one of the language codes from the [IETF BCP 47 standard](http://tools.ietf.org/html/bcp47). See also [[availableLanguage]]. Scope Domain: BroadcastService (https://schema.org/BroadcastService), CommunicateAction (https://schema.org/CommunicateAction), CreativeWork (https://schema.org/CreativeWork), Event (https://schema.org/Event), LinkRole (https://schema.org/LinkRole), PronounceableText (https://schema.org/PronounceableText), WriteAction (https://schema.org/WriteAction).

dateModified	XsdDate	[1]	Documentation Original Reference schema:dateModified Definition The date on which the CreativeWork was most recently modified or when the item's entry was modified within a DataFeed. Scope Domain: CreativeWork (https://schema.org/CreativeWork), DataFeedItem (https://schema.org/DataFeedItem). Range: Date (https://schema.org/Date), DateTime (https://schema.org/DateTime). CDIF Definition ISO8601 formatted date (and optional time if relevant) when Dataset was last updated Scope schema:dateModified - ISO 8601 last-updated date. Required.
datePublished	XsdDate	[0..1]	Documentation Original Reference schema:datePublished Definition Date of first publication or broadcast. For example the date a [[CreativeWork]] was broadcast or a [[Certification]] was issued. Scope Domain: Certification (https://schema.org/Certification), CreativeWork (https://schema.org/CreativeWork). Range: Date (https://schema.org/Date), DateTime (https://schema.org/DateTime). CDIF Definition ISO8601 formatted date (and optional time if relevant) when Dataset was made public. Scope schema:datePublished - ISO 8601 publication date.
url	XsdAnyUri	[0..1]	Documentation Original Reference schema:url Definition URL of the item. Scope Domain: Thing (https://schema.org/Thing). Range: URL (https://schema.org/URL). CDIF Definition Web Location of a page describing the dataset (landing page), typically providing links or instructions to get the actual resource content; analogous to dcat:accessURL. If a direct link is available to get the data, put in distribution/contentUrl Scope schema:url - landing page URL. Either url OR distribution is required.
license	Reference	[0..*]	Documentation Original Reference schema:license Definition A license document that applies to this content, typically indicated by URL. Scope Domain: CreativeWork (https://schema.org/CreativeWork). Range: CreativeWork (https://schema.org/CreativeWork), URL (https://schema.org/URL). CDIF Definition legal statement of conditions for use and access; recommend using schema:CreativeWork to provide a label (name) for the license, and an identifier.

If only a string is provided, it should be an identifier for the license, ideally a resolvable URI Scope schema:license - license URI or label. Either license OR conditionsOfAccess is required.
conditionsOfAccess	Reference	[0..*]	Documentation Original Reference schema:conditionsOfAccess Definition Conditions that affect the availability of, or method(s) of access to, an item. Typically used for real world items such as an [[ArchiveComponent]] held by an [[ArchiveOrganization]]. This property is not suitable for use as a general Web access control mechanism. It is expressed only in natural language.\n\nFor example "Available by appointment from the Reading Room" or "Accessible only from logged-in accounts ". Scope Domain: CreativeWork (https://schema.org/CreativeWork). Range: Text (https://schema.org/Text). CDIF Definition text statement of conditions for use and access; if an online resource documents the restrictions or a URI is used to identify the conditions, recommend using schema:CreativeWork to provide a label (name) and an identifier (URI or URL). Scope schema:conditionsOfAccess - access-condition text or URI. Either conditionsOfAccess OR license is required.
publishingPrinciples	Reference	[0..*]	Documentation Original Reference schema:publishingPrinciples Definition The publishingPrinciples property indicates (typically via [[URL]]) a document describing the editorial principles of an [[Organization]] (or individual, e.g. a [[Person]] writing a blog) that relate to their activities as a publisher, e.g. ethics or diversity policies. When applied to a [[CreativeWork]] (e.g. [[NewsArticle]]) the principles are those of the party primarily responsible for the creation of the [[CreativeWork]]. While such policies are most typically expressed in natural language, sometimes related information (e.g. indicating a [[funder]]) can be expressed using schema.org terminology. Scope Domain: CreativeWork (https://schema.org/CreativeWork), Organization (https://schema.org/Organization), Person (https://schema.org/Person). Range: CreativeWork (https://schema.org/CreativeWork), URL (https://schema.org/URL). CDIF Definition FDOF digitalObjectMutability, RDA digitalObjectPolicy, FDOF PersistencyPolicy. Policies related to maintenance, update, expected time to live. If an online resource documents the policies or a URI is used to identify the conditions, recommend using schema:CreativeWork to provide a label (name) and an identifier (URI or URL). Scope schema:publishingPrinciples - maintenance/update/expected-time-to-live policies.
keywords	DefinedTerm	[0..*]	Documentation Original Reference schema:keywords Definition 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. Scope Domain: CreativeWork (https://schema.org/CreativeWork), Event (https://schema.org/Event), Organization (https://schema.org/Organization), Place (https://schema.org/Place), Product (https://schema.org/Product). Range: DefinedTerm (https://schema.org/DefinedTerm), Text (https://schema.org/Text), URL (https://schema.org/URL). CDIF Definition Keywords are an array of strings, an array of schema:DefinedTerms, or some combination of these. If you have information about a controlled vocabulary from which keywords come from, use schema:DefinedTerm to descibe that keyword. This allowed variability makes parsing metadata hard; recommend using DefinedTerm for all keywords if any of them are from a known vocabulary, otherwise an array of strings. Scope schema:keywords - keywords as strings or DefinedTerms.
relatedLink	Reference	[0..*]	Documentation Original Reference schema:relatedLink Definition A link related to this web page, for example to other related web pages. Scope Domain: WebPage (https://schema.org/WebPage). Range: URL (https://schema.org/URL). CDIF Definition links to related resources; linkRelationship specifies how the resource is related.
