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.
