A Schema.org Type

*This term is in the "new" area - implementation feedback and adoption from applications and websites can help improve our definitions.*

A word, name, acronym, phrase, etc. with a formal definition. Often used in the context of category or subject classification, glossaries or dictionaries, product or creative work types, etc. Use the name property for the term being defined, use termCode if the term has an alpha-numeric code allocated, use description to provide the definition of the term. Use the about property to specify what the term is about.

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 [style guide](https://schema.org/docs/styleguide.html).

[measurementMethod](https://schema.org/measurementMethod "measurementMethod")

[Dataset](https://schema.org/Dataset "Dataset")  or  
[Observation](https://schema.org/Observation "Observation")  or  
[PropertyValue](https://schema.org/PropertyValue "PropertyValue")  or  
[StatisticalVariable](https://schema.org/StatisticalVariable "StatisticalVariable")

A subproperty of [measurementTechnique](https://schema.org/measurementTechnique) that can be used for specifying specific methods, in particular via [MeasurementMethodEnum](https://schema.org/MeasurementMethodEnum).

[measurementTechnique](https://schema.org/measurementTechnique "measurementTechnique")

[DataCatalog](https://schema.org/DataCatalog "DataCatalog")  or  
[DataDownload](https://schema.org/DataDownload "DataDownload")  or  
[Dataset](https://schema.org/Dataset "Dataset")  or  
[Observation](https://schema.org/Observation "Observation")  or  
[PropertyValue](https://schema.org/PropertyValue "PropertyValue")  or  
[StatisticalVariable](https://schema.org/StatisticalVariable "StatisticalVariable")

A technique, method or technology used in an [Observation](https://schema.org/Observation), [StatisticalVariable](https://schema.org/StatisticalVariable) or [Dataset](https://schema.org/Dataset) (or [DataDownload](https://schema.org/DataDownload), [DataCatalog](https://schema.org/DataCatalog)), corresponding to the method used for measuring the corresponding variable(s) (for datasets, described using [variableMeasured](https://schema.org/variableMeasured); for [Observation](https://schema.org/Observation), a [StatisticalVariable](https://schema.org/StatisticalVariable)). Often but not necessarily each [variableMeasured](https://schema.org/variableMeasured) will have an explicit representation as (or mapping to) an property such as those defined in Schema.org, or other RDF vocabularies and "knowledge graphs". In that case the subproperty of [variableMeasured](https://schema.org/variableMeasured) called [measuredProperty](https://schema.org/measuredProperty) is applicable.

The [measurementTechnique](https://schema.org/measurementTechnique) property helps when extra clarification is needed about how a [measuredProperty](https://schema.org/measuredProperty) was measured. This is oriented towards scientific and scholarly dataset publication but may have broader applicability; it is not intended as a full representation of measurement, but can often serve as a high level summary for dataset discovery.

For example, if [variableMeasured](https://schema.org/variableMeasured) is: molecule concentration, [measurementTechnique](https://schema.org/measurementTechnique) could be: "mass spectrometry" or "nmr spectroscopy" or "colorimetry" or "immunofluorescence". If the [variableMeasured](https://schema.org/variableMeasured) is "depression rating", the [measurementTechnique](https://schema.org/measurementTechnique) could be "Zung Scale" or "HAM-D" or "Beck Depression Inventory".

If there are several [variableMeasured](https://schema.org/variableMeasured) properties recorded for some given data object, use a [PropertyValue](https://schema.org/PropertyValue) for each [variableMeasured](https://schema.org/variableMeasured) and attach the corresponding [measurementTechnique](https://schema.org/measurementTechnique). The value can also be from an enumeration, organized as a [MeasurementMetholdEnumeration](https://schema.org/MeasurementMetholdEnumeration).

[pattern](https://schema.org/pattern "pattern")

[CreativeWork](https://schema.org/CreativeWork "CreativeWork")  or  
[Product](https://schema.org/Product "Product")

[physicalRequirement](https://schema.org/physicalRequirement "physicalRequirement")

[JobPosting](https://schema.org/JobPosting "JobPosting")

A description of the types of physical activity associated with the job. Defined terms such as those in O\*net may be used, but note that there is no way to specify the level of ability as well as its nature when using a defined term.

[potentialUse](https://schema.org/potentialUse "potentialUse")

[EducationalOccupationalProgram](https://schema.org/EducationalOccupationalProgram "EducationalOccupationalProgram")

The type of educational or occupational program. For example, classroom, internship, alternance, etc.

[pronouns](https://schema.org/pronouns "pronouns")

[Person](https://schema.org/Person "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](https://schema.org/StructuredValue) or [DefinedTerm](https://schema.org/DefinedTerm) values.

[sensoryRequirement](https://schema.org/sensoryRequirement "sensoryRequirement")

[JobPosting](https://schema.org/JobPosting "JobPosting")

A description of any sensory requirements and levels necessary to function on the job, including hearing and vision. Defined terms such as those in O\*net may be used, but note that there is no way to specify the level of ability as well as its nature when using a defined term.

[size](https://schema.org/size "size")

[CreativeWork](https://schema.org/CreativeWork "CreativeWork")  or  
[Product](https://schema.org/Product "Product")

A standardized size of a product or creative work, specified either through a simple textual string (for example 'XL', '32Wx34L'), a QuantitativeValue with a unitCode, or a comprehensive and structured [SizeSpecification](https://schema.org/SizeSpecification); in other cases, the [width](https://schema.org/width), [height](https://schema.org/height), [depth](https://schema.org/depth) and [weight](https://schema.org/weight) properties may be more applicable.

[skills](https://schema.org/skills "skills")

[JobPosting](https://schema.org/JobPosting "JobPosting")  or  
[Occupation](https://schema.org/Occupation "Occupation")  or  
[Organization](https://schema.org/Organization "Organization")  or  
[Person](https://schema.org/Person "Person")

A statement of knowledge, skill, ability, task or any other assertion expressing a competency that is either claimed by a person, an organization or desired or required to fulfill a role or to work in an occupation.

[EducationEvent](https://schema.org/EducationEvent "EducationEvent")  or  
[LearningResource](https://schema.org/LearningResource "LearningResource")

The item being described is intended to help a person learn the competency or learning outcome defined by the referenced term.

[valueReference](https://schema.org/valueReference "valueReference")

[PropertyValue](https://schema.org/PropertyValue "PropertyValue")  or  
[QualitativeValue](https://schema.org/QualitativeValue "QualitativeValue")  or  
[QuantitativeValue](https://schema.org/QuantitativeValue "QuantitativeValue")

A secondary value that provides additional information on the original value, e.g. a reference temperature or a type of measurement.

[ProductGroup](https://schema.org/ProductGroup "ProductGroup")

Indicates the property or properties by which the variants in a [ProductGroup](https://schema.org/ProductGroup) vary, e.g. their size, color etc. Schema.org properties can be referenced by their short name e.g. "color"; terms defined elsewhere can be referenced with their URIs.
