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.

Property

Expected Type

Description

Properties from [Thing](https://schema.org/Thing "Thing")

`[additionalType](https://schema.org/additionalType "additionalType")`

[Text](https://schema.org/Text "Text")  or  
[URL](https://schema.org/URL "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 [style guide](https://schema.org/docs/styleguide.html).

`[alternateName](https://schema.org/alternateName "alternateName")`

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

An alias for the item.

`[disambiguatingDescription](https://schema.org/disambiguatingDescription "disambiguatingDescription")`

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

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

The identifier property represents any kind of identifier for any kind of [Thing](https://schema.org/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](https://schema.org/docs/datamodel.html#identifierBg) for more details.

`[image](https://schema.org/image "image")`

[ImageObject](https://schema.org/ImageObject "ImageObject")  or  
[URL](https://schema.org/URL "URL")

`[sameAs](https://schema.org/sameAs "sameAs")`

[URL](https://schema.org/URL "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](https://schema.org/subjectOf "subjectOf")`

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

Property

Description

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

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.

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

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

-   For [QuantitativeValue](https://schema.org/QuantitativeValue) and [MonetaryAmount](https://schema.org/MonetaryAmount), the recommended type for values is 'Number'.
-   For [PropertyValue](https://schema.org/PropertyValue), it can be 'Text', 'Number', 'Boolean', or 'StructuredValue'.
-   Use values from 0123456789 (Unicode 'DIGIT ZERO' (U+0030) to 'DIGIT NINE' (U+0039)) rather than superficially similar Unicode symbols.
-   Use '.' (Unicode 'FULL STOP' (U+002E)) rather than ',' to indicate a decimal point. Avoid using these symbols as a readability separator.

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

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