StructuredValue — Schema.org Type, Hierarchy & Properties

Source: Schema.org v30.1 offline vocabulary. Official StructuredValue definition.

What is StructuredValue?

Structured values are used when the value of a property has a more complex structure than simply being a textual value or a reference to another thing.

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 StructuredValue values (6)

Property	On types	Description
numberOfCredits	Course or EducationalOccupationalProgram	The number of credits or units awarded by a Course or required to complete an EducationalOccupationalProgram.
pronouns	Person	A short string listing or describing pronouns for a person. Typically the person concerned is the best authority as pronouns are a critical part of personal identity and expression. Publishers and consumers of this information are reminded to treat this data responsibly, take country-specific laws related to gender expression into account, and be wary of out-of-date data and drawing unwarranted inferences about the person being described. In English, formulations such as "they/them", "she/her", and "he/him" are commonly used online and can also be used here. We do not intend to enumerate all possible micro-syntaxes in all languages. More structured and well-defined external values for pronouns can be referenced using the [[StructuredValue]] or [[DefinedTerm]] values.
reviewAspect	Guide or Rating or Review	This Review or Rating is relevant to this part or facet of the itemReviewed.
typicalCreditsPerTerm	EducationalOccupationalProgram	The number of credits or units a full-time student would be expected to take in 1 term however 'term' is defined by the institution.
value	MonetaryAmount or PropertyValue or QuantitativeValue	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', 'StructuredValue' or 'QualitativeValue'.\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.
valueReference	PropertyValue or QualitativeValue or QuantitativeValue	A secondary value that provides additional information on the original value, e.g. a reference temperature or a type of measurement.

Properties usable on StructuredValue (13)

This list includes properties whose domainIncludes names StructuredValue 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>.
alternateName	Text	An alias for the item.
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.
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.
image	ImageObject, URL	An image of the item. This can be a [[URL]] or a fully described [[ImageObject]].
mainEntityOfPage	CreativeWork, URL	Indicates a page (or other CreativeWork) for which this thing is the main entity being described. See [background notes](/docs/datamodel.html#mainEntityBackground) for details.
name	Text	The name of the item.
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.
sameAs	URL	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.
subjectOf	CreativeWork, Event	A CreativeWork or Event about this Thing.
url	URL	URL of the item.
