Example JSON-LD skeleton

This minimal example only identifies a Schema.org type. It is not a complete entity, a Google rich-result test, or a claim about a real business.

Full parent hierarchy

Each chain starts at a root type. Multiple paths are shown when Schema.org defines more than one parent. For very complex types, up to 256 paths are displayed; consult the official definition for the full graph.

Properties that accept Service values (7)

Property	On types	Description
isRelatedTo	Product or Service	A pointer to another, somehow related product (or multiple products).
isSimilarTo	Product or Service	A pointer to another, functionally similar product (or multiple products).
issuedThrough	Permit	The service through which the permit was granted.

The transactional nature of the offer or demand is documented using [[businessFunction]], e.g. sell, lease etc. While several common expected types are listed explicitly in this definition, others can be used. Using a second type, such as Product or a subtype of Product, can clarify the nature of the offer.

typeOfGood	OwnershipInfo or TypeAndQuantityNode	The product that this structured value is referring to.

Properties usable on Service (38)

This list includes properties whose domainIncludes names Service or one of its ancestors. DomainIncludes is advisory; it is not an exhaustive set of permitted properties.

Property	Expected value types	Description
additionalType	Text, 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. 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>.
aggregateRating	AggregateRating	The overall rating, based on a collection of reviews or ratings, of the item.
alternateName	Text	An alias for the item.
areaServed	AdministrativeArea, GeoShape, Place, Text	The geographic area where a service or offered item is provided.
audience	Audience	An intended audience, i.e. a group for whom something was created.
availableChannel	ServiceChannel	A means of accessing the service (e.g. a phone bank, a web site, a location, etc.).
award	Text	An award won by or for this item.
brand	Brand, Organization	The brand(s) associated with a product or service, or the brand(s) maintained by an organization or business person.
broker	Organization, Person	An entity that arranges for an exchange between a buyer and a seller. In most cases a broker never acquires or releases ownership of a product or service involved in an exchange. If it is not clear whether an entity is a broker, seller, or buyer, the latter two terms are preferred.
category	CategoryCode, PhysicalActivityCategory, Text, Thing, URL	A category for the item. Greater signs or slashes can be used to informally indicate a category hierarchy.
description	Text, TextObject	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.
hasCertification	Certification	Certification information about a product, organization, service, place, or person.
hasOfferCatalog	OfferCatalog	Indicates an OfferCatalog listing for this Organization, Person, or Service.
hoursAvailable	OpeningHoursSpecification	The hours during which this service or contact is available.
identifier	PropertyValue, Text, URL	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.

name	Text	The name of the item.
offers	Demand, Offer	An offer to provide this item—for example, an offer to sell a product, rent the DVD of a movie, perform a service, or give away tickets to an event. Use [[businessFunction]] to indicate the kind of transaction offered, i.e. sell, lease, etc. This property can also be used to describe a [[Demand]]. While this property is listed as expected on a number of common types, it can be used in others. In that case, using a second type, such as Product or a subtype of Product, can clarify the nature of the offer.
owner	Organization, Person	A person or organization who owns this Thing.
potentialAction	Action	Indicates a potential Action, which describes an idealized action in which this thing would play an 'object' role.
produces	Thing	The tangible thing generated by the service, e.g. a passport, permit, etc.
