ItemList

A list of items of any sort—for example, Top 10 Movies About Weathermen, or Top 100 Party Songs. Not to be confused with HTML lists, which are often used only for formatting.

Properties

| Property | Expected Type | Description | |----------|---------------|-------------| | numberOfItems | Integer | The number of items in an ItemList. Note that some descriptions might not fully describe all items in a list (e.g., multi-page pagination); in such cases, the numberOfItems would be for the entire list. | | itemListElement | Text or Thing or ListItem | For itemListElement values, you can use simple strings (e.g. "Peter", "Paul", "Mary"), existing entities, or use ListItem.\n\nText values are best if the elements in the list are plain strings. Existing entities are best for a simple, unordered list of existing things in your data. ListItem is used with ordered lists when you want to provide additional context about the element in that list or when the same item might be in different places in different lists.\n\nNote: The order of elements in your mark-up is not sufficient for indicating the order or elements. Use ListItem with a 'position' property in such cases. | | aggregateElement | Thing | Indicates a prototype of the elements in the list that is used to hold aggregate information (ratings, offers, etc.). | | itemListOrder | ItemListOrderType or Text | Type of ordering (e.g. Ascending, Descending, Unordered). |

Properties from Thing

| Property | Expected Type | Description | |----------|---------------|-------------| | digital | Number | A number from 0.0 to 1.0 representing the degree of digital vs physical embodiment. 1.0 = fully digital, 0.0 = fully physical, 0.5 = hybrid. | | 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. | | potentialAction | Action | Indicates a potential Action, which describes an idealized action in which this thing would play an 'object' role. | | additionalType | 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. | | identifier | URL or Text or PropertyValue | 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. | | image | ImageObject or URL | An image of the item. This can be a [[URL]] or a fully described [[ImageObject]]. | | 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. | | description | Text or TextObject | A description of the item. | | alternateName | Text | An alias for the item. | | url | URL | URL of the item. | | subjectOf | Event or CreativeWork | A CreativeWork or Event about this Thing. | | name | Text | The name of the item. | | mainEntityOfPage | CreativeWork or URL | Indicates a page (or other CreativeWork) for which this thing is the main entity being described. See background notes for details. |
