ConstraintNode

The ConstraintNode type is provided to support usecases in which a node in a structured data graph is described with properties which appear to describe a single entity, but are being used in a situation where they serve a more abstract purpose. A ConstraintNode can be described using constraintProperty and numConstraints. These constraint properties can serve a variety of purposes, and their values may sometimes be understood to indicate sets of possible values rather than single, exact and specific values.

Properties

2 of its own, and 14 it inherits. Each says what kind of value it takes.

Its own2
PropertyValueWhat it means
constraintPropertyValue: Property or URL

Indicates a property used as a constraint. For example, in the definition of a StatisticalVariable. The value is a property, either from within Schema.org or from other compatible (e.g. RDF) systems such as DataCommons.org or Wikidata.org.

numConstraintsValue: Integer

Indicates the number of constraints property values defined for a particular ConstraintNode such as StatisticalVariable. This helps applications understand if they have access to a sufficiently complete description of a StatisticalVariable or other construct that is defined using properties on template-style nodes.

From Thing14
PropertyValueWhat it means
additionalTypeValue: Text or 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.

alternateNameValue: Text

An alias for the item.

descriptionValue: Text or TextObject

A description of the item.

digital.org.aiValue: Number

Digital maturity score from 0.0 (fully analog/manual) to 1.0 (fully digital/autonomous). Indicates the degree to which an entity operates digitally.

disambiguatingDescriptionValue: 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.

identifierValue: PropertyValue, Text or 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 for more details.

imageValue: ImageObject or URL

An image of the item. This can be a URL or a fully described ImageObject.

mainEntityOfPageValue: CreativeWork or URL

Indicates a page (or other CreativeWork) for which this thing is the main entity being described. See background notes for details.

nameValue: Text

The name of the item.

ownerValue: Organization or Person

A person or organization who owns this Thing.

potentialActionValue: Action

Indicates a potential Action, which describes an idealized action in which this thing would play an 'object' role.

sameAsValue: 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.

subjectOfValue: CreativeWork or Event

A CreativeWork or Event about this Thing.

urlValue: URL

URL of the item.

Subtypes

StatisticalVariable is a more specific kind of ConstraintNode.
