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

A measured variable described as a schema:PropertyValue. Lightweight discovery-level shape: name, description, optional measurement technique, optional value range (min/maxValue) and unit (unitCode/unitText). Richer per-variable structure is added by cdifDataDescription.

Attributes

Name	Type	Multiplicity	Description
identifier	XsdAnyUri	[0..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 - resolvable URI for the variable.
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 - label associated with the variable in the dataset.
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 - free-text description of what the variable measures.
alternateName	string	[0..*]	Documentation Original Reference schema:alternateName Definition An alias for the item. Scope Domain: Thing (https://schema.org/Thing). Range: Text (https://schema.org/Text). CDIF Definition Alternate or abbreviated name(s) for this place. Scope schema:alternateName - additional human-readable name(s) for the variable.
minValue	string	[0..1]	Documentation Original Reference schema:minValue Definition The lower value of some characteristic or property. Scope Domain: MonetaryAmount (https://schema.org/MonetaryAmount), PropertyValue (https://schema.org/PropertyValue), PropertyValueSpecification (https://schema.org/PropertyValueSpecification), QuantitativeValue (https://schema.org/QuantitativeValue). Range: Number (https://schema.org/Number). CDIF Definition minimum numeric value in the dataset Scope schema:minValue - the lower bound of the values this variable can take (string for generality; concrete numeric type varies).
maxValue	string	[0..1]	Documentation Original Reference schema:maxValue Definition The upper value of some characteristic or property. Scope Domain: MonetaryAmount (https://schema.org/MonetaryAmount), PropertyValue (https://schema.org/PropertyValue), PropertyValueSpecification (https://schema.org/PropertyValueSpecification), QuantitativeValue (https://schema.org/QuantitativeValue). Range: Number (https://schema.org/Number). CDIF Definition maximum numeric value in the dataset Scope schema:maxValue - the upper bound of the values this variable can take.
unitCode	string	[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 - URL/code identifying the unit of measure (e.g. UN/CEFACT Common Code, QUDT URI).
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 - text label for the unit of measure (free form, complements unitCode).
