What is XPathType?

Text representing an XPath (typically but not necessarily version 1.0).

DataType guidance: XPathType describes the format or meaning of a value. Use it where a Schema.org property accepts this value type. See the property table below for practical contexts.

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.
