Contact button is described by CommunicateAction (schema.org), isn't it?
button,registration,contact,schema.org
Schema.org’s documentation doesn’t seem to offer related examples, but according to the action documentation, it seems to be appropriate to use Action types for these buttons. Some notes: You probably left it out for the example, but to be sure: you’d reference the action from its parent type with the...
Opening hours go over midnight
I don’t have any experience with this, but I would have assumed that using opens and closes like that should be fine, as their descriptions say The opening hour of the place or service on the given day(s) of the week. The closing hour of the place or service on...
Google sitelinks search box snippet doesn't work
search,google-search,schema.org,google-rich-snippets,json-ld
I noticed this is now working for petmd.com so, unless you changed anything, I suspect you just didn't give it long enough for Google to pick this up. To give some idea of the time frames involved for anyone else looking for this I'll note my experiences below (note this...
GSA: microdata gets truncated
schema.org,microdata,google-search-appliance
The GSA does not support those microdata. It typically only supports meta tags under the format <meta name="category" content="computer"/>
How to model directories and files using schema.org types with JSON-LD syntax?
You might wanna consider the Nepomuk File Ontology (NFO) instead.
Schema.org type for a study course
I would look into the Event part of the schema.org: An event happening at a certain time and location, such as a concert, lecture, or festival. Ticketing information may be added via the 'offers' property. Repeated events may be structured as separate Event objects. http://schema.org/Event That seems like it should...
Using an itemprop from one itemtype in another itemtype
Don’t use url. As you rightly point out, the url property is for the URL of the current item (i.e., the product), and not for URLs of related items. While the definition of the relatedLink property seems to be appropriate for your case, this property can only be used for...
How does schema.org usage fit into Linked Data principles?
rdf,schema.org,rdfa,rdfs,linked-data
From http://schema.org/docs/datamodel.html: The canonical machine representation of schema.org is in RDFa: schema_org_rdfa.html (See my answer on Webmasters SE for other representation.) This HTML+RDFa version uses the RDFS vocabulary. It’s as good as any other RDF serialization. If you don’t like RDFa, you could of course use your favorite converter to...
“Error: Incomplete microdata with schema.org” for Product
prestashop,schema.org,microdata,prestashop-1.6,google-rich-snippets
Your usage of Microdata and Schema.org is not wrong. The Google Structured Data Testing Tool is just "complaining" that you did not specify all properties Google Search needs for displaying one of their Rich Snippets. It seems that the culprit is the last Offer: <span itemprop="offers" itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/Offer"> <link itemprop="availability"...
Classifying chemical raw materials to introduce in Schema.org
As you said, these are products (i.e., they offer these, right?), so the Product type seems to be appropriate. MedicalEntity (or one of its sub-types) would only be appropriate for those products that are "related to health and the practice of medicine". If that’s the case, you could add it...
Can't get Google Now card to trigger from email
html,email,schema.org,google-now,json-ld
I've finally got this to work. For some reason the starter tutorial they provide doesn't give you adequate markup to generate a google now card. Instead, you should use the event without reservation markup here.
Setting the service details for several reviews with structured data
html,schema.org,microdata,structured-data
You can use Microdata’s itemref attribute to reference the item that gets reviewed, so you don’t have to repeat it for each review: <div id="foo" itemprop="itemReviewed" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Service"> <!-- make sure that this element is not a child of another itemscope --> </div> <div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Review" itemref="foo"></div> <div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Review"...
Where to add Rich snippet - Organization schema for a general page
schema.org,google-rich-snippets
It's not necessary to put it on every page, but you should definitely insert it into pages such as the About page and Contact page, and you could also insert it into the homepage if there is an appropriate place for you to do so. You will just want to...
Schema.org - JSON-LD - Where to Place?
From the perspectives of Schema.org, JSON-LD, and the possibly extracted RDF, it should not matter. The data is the same, no matter from where in the document it got extracted. From the perspective of HTML5: If it’s data about your page (or what this page is about), you could place...
Extending schema microdata property
You have two different offers for the product, so you should have two Offer items. You can specify the condition with the itemCondition property and its values NewCondition / UsedCondition. Taking your snippet, it could look like: <div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Product"> <span itemprop="name">Fifa</span> <span itemprop="manufacturer">EA</span> <div itemprop="offers" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Offer"> <a href="#">Buy...
Schema.org mandatory fields and the time needed until Google shows changes
seo,schema.org,google-rich-snippets
There are no mandatory properties/types in Schema.org. However, consumers of the data, like Google Search, might have rules under which conditions they will make something with your data (e.g., they are looking for specific properties). So you’d have to check their documentation. For Google Search, their Rich Snippets are documented...
News item in Schema.org
The Schema.org type Article is appropriate, as its description says (bold emphasis mine): An article, such as a news article or piece of investigative report. […] But you can even be more specific by using the NewsArticle type (note that by using this type, your news post is also an...
Do I need to repeat all the categories on all sub-pages?
Schema.org doesn’t define any required properties, so everything is optional. But note that there is no concept of "website" in Microdata. The Microdata always gets parsed per document. So if a Microdata consumer parses your "Special Offer Weekend in New York" page, it will not get the telephone/address/etc. of the...
How can I include an articleBody that is outside of the Article's itemscope?
It appears that I was on the right track. The problem I had was that I attempted to declare itemref multiple times, each time for another id. According to W3C, itemref actually expects a space-separated list of id values. Here is the working example: <html> <body> <div itemref="content company" id="articleHeader"...
Schema.org is not validating: “it appears to include multiple reviews of an item, but no aggregate review information”
schema.org,rich-snippets,google-rich-snippets
I don’t know why Google’s old SDTT reports this, but their new SDTT doesn’t: Apart from the author property that Google would like to see for the Review items, no relevant errors or warnings are reported....
Schema.org deliveryLeadTime unitCode for Business Days
Well, I don't claim to be an expert in the use of UN/CEFACT codes, but based on that spreadsheet, it looks like E49 is the correct code for "working day". So, you could possibly format it something like this: <div itemprop="deliveryLeadTime" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/QuantitativeValue"> <span itemprop="minValue">7</span> - <span itemprop="maxValue">10</span> <span>working days</span>...
Why is my schema.org rating markup for a place not being shown by Google?
schema.org,google-webmaster-tools,microdata
Google will not typically display an aggregate rating rich snippet for a "Place" itemtype. They do show it, though, for more specific place types, such as for restaurants and other local business types. So you might need to get more specific with your markup. On a different note, hiding marked...
How to setup “application/ld+json” schema.org meta data in rails 4 app
ruby,ruby-on-rails-4,metadata,schema.org,json-ld
There is a JSON-LD gem (http://rubygems.org/gems/json-ld), but it might not be specifically what you're looking for. Note that the point of JSON-LD is that it's just JSON, in this case using the schema.org context to interpret the values. Assuming that your data is in ActiveRecord models, you'll need a way...
When to use the subclass in RDFS?
The semantic web / linked data lives of the re-use of existing vocabularies, so if you only need a sub-set of existing vocabularies, it's best to not re-invent any new schema, but just to use parts from existing ones. Your data will then even be useful without any reasoning. Also,...
What Schema.org properties for video search results?
You could use the SearchResultsPage type for the webpage, the ItemList type for the result list, and the VideoObject type for each result. To relate the ItemList to the SearchResultsPage, you could use the mainEntity property, and to relate the VideoObject items to the ItemList, the itemListElement property. In RDFa,...
Multiple Aggregate Ratings of Schema.org
seo,search-engine,schema.org,serp
It is not possible to directly denote which entity should be used for purposes like Rich Snippets. But you can try it indirectly, by denoting what the page is about (what consumers, like Google Search, do with this information is up to them). In your case, the page seems to...
Schema.org SearchAction error for Google Sitelinks Search Box: “valueName: missing and required”
google-search,schema.org,microdata
Update: It was a bug in Google’s Testing Tool. The markup from the question (and Googles own documentation) now works again. So there’s no need for the following alternative. It’s not clear if this is just a temporary bug with their Structured Data Testing Tool, or if their documentation for...
“availability” not showing in Google Rich Snippet
html5,seo,schema.org,microdata,google-rich-snippets
I don’t know if this is the reason why Google Search does not pick it up, but your markup is not valid. The li element can’t have a href attribute. So instead of this <li itemprop="availability" href="http://schema.org/InStock">Op voorraad</li> you should use, for example, this <li><link itemprop="availability" href="http://schema.org/InStock"/>Op voorraad</li> Also note...
Why use Schema.org microdata to mark up web page elements?
Schema.org is not restricted to HTML5. Schema.org is a vocabulary which can be used with various syntaxes (like JSON-LD, Microdata, RDFa, Turtle, …), stand-alone or in various host languages (like HTML 4.01, XHTML 1.0/1.1, (X)HTML5, XML, SVG, …). So having other ways to specify that something is (or: is about;...
Microdata/Schema.org/SEO: How to properly set a ContactPoint
(While Google’s Testing Tool reports this as an error, it’s not an actual error. It should be a warning instead. Your code is valid Microdata and you are correctly using the Schema.org vocabulary.) You have two top-level items (a Person and a ContactPoint), i.e., they are not related in any...
How to do a new extension with Schema.org + Microdata?
You may still use Schema.org’s "slash-based" extension mechanism. It’s "outdated", but not invalid. But it’s not (and never was) a good idea to use this mechanism if you want other consumers to understand or make special use of your extensions. In some cases you could use Schema.org’s Role type, which...
Which Schema.org property should I use for popular posts item list?
If they are also blog posts, you would use BlogPosting, too. Microdata is not only for the main content of a page. However, the Schema.org vocabulary currently lacks a property to mark an item as the main content item of a page (the property mainContentOfPage is only allowed for WebPage)....
Schema.org - Correct way to set up a football (soccer) club with multiple teams
For the whole club, you could use one of these types (whichever matches according to your understanding of how the club works): SportsOrganization or the more specific SportsTeam. For each team, use SportsTeam. And to relate these entities, you could use one of these properties (whichever is appropriate according to...
nested microdata properties with 3 levels
You missed the name for the product and didn't declare an item scope for review. This is what you need to do: <div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Product"> <span itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Review" itemprop="review"> <p itemprop="reviewBody">myreview...</p> (author :<span itemscope itemprop="author" itemtype="http://schema.org/Person"> <span itemprop="name">Name of the auhor</span> </span>) </span> <span itemprop="name">Product Name</span> </div> ...
Product size: width, height and depth
The width/depth/height properties expect Distance or QuantitativeValue as value. So if you want to use Distance, it might look like: <span itemprop="width" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Distance"> 60 <span>cm</span> </span> If you want to use QuantitativeValue: <span itemprop="width" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/QuantitativeValue"> <span itemprop="value">60</span> <span>cm</span> <meta itemprop="unitCode" content="CMT" /> </span> Instead of specifying the...
Does Google not support rich snippets for reviews of the schema.org type VideoGame?
html5,schema.org,microdata,rich-snippets,google-rich-snippets
Google does not display a Review Rich Snippet for all of the Schema.org types, but they don’t explicitly list which types are supported (emphasis mine): We support reviews and ratings for a wide range of schema.org types, including businesses, products, and different creative works such as books or movies. Maybe...
How to markup a document with RDFa when data is across multiple elements
semantic-web,semantic-markup,schema.org,rdfa,linked-data
Your markup is syntactically valid, but it’s probably not conveying what you mean. You are adding three street addresses (!) to the PostalAddress node, but consumers have no reason to assume that these are three parts of actually one street address, and RDFa doesn’t rely on the relative order of...
Structured markup adding models to product data
It’s a pity that Google Search (according to their documentation) only supports price, not priceSpecification. I’m sure that that they’ll support it in the future (if it’s not already the case, albeit undocumented). Providing both properties seems to be a suitable solution, especially in such simple cases where you don’t...
How to implement schema.org on https pages
tl;dr: Use http URIs. In this answer on Webmasters SE I explained why you should favor http over https Schema.org URIs: The http URIs seem to be canonical, as the actual definition of the Schema.org vocabulary only defines http, not https. In addition: all examples (even on HTTPS) use the...

Schema.org Organization: url, logo in one place and social links in another
Microdata’s itemref attribute can be a solution. But this only works if you have no other parent itemtype open (e.g., on the body). <div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Organization" itemref="social-links"> <a itemprop="url" href="/"> <img itemprop="logo" alt="sitename" src="logo.png"> </a> </div> <ul id="social-links"> <li><a itemprop="sameAs" href="https://www.facebook.com/site"></a></li> <li><a itemprop="sameAs"...
Structured data not being picked up on telephone number
html5,schema.org,microdata,google-rich-snippets,structured-data
Schema.org’s telephone property expects Text as value, not a URL. (There’s a feature request to change this.) So you could use something like this: <div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Organization"> <p>Call Us: <a href="tel:07749918143"><span itemprop="telephone">07749 918 143</span></a></p> </div> ...
Can I have multiple images marked up in a schema.org ImageObject?

Combining seperate Schema.org Organization sections in Microdata
For schemabiz It works like that. But you could also omit the outer div and add the id to the PostalAddress item. So instead of <div id="schemabiz"> <div itemprop="address" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/PostalAddress"> </div> </div> you could use <div id="schemabiz" itemprop="address" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/PostalAddress"> </div> For schemabiz2 Don’t use itemscope+itemtype for the referenced...
Child properties of Schema.org property

Site name in Google search results for multi-language websites
html,seo,schema.org,google-rich-snippets
Whether you use different paths (…/en/ + …/de/), different subdomains (en.example.com + de.example.com) or different domains (example.com + example.net), you have different (albeit translated) websites. So use a separate WebSite item for each of your sites. Example (using RDFa) On http://example.com/en/, you could specify: <head typeof="schema:WebSite"> <title property="schema:name">Example</title> <link property="schema:url"...
Is it good to use ItemPage (schema.org) to my courses?
If the page is about a single course, then yes, you may use ItemPage. As a general rule, always go with the most specific type. So if you have a WebPage, check its "More specific Types"; if one of the types applies to your case, select it; otherwise, keep WebPage....
Write Microdata just with and
If the value is a URI, use link. Otherwise, use meta. So <span itemprop="ratingValue">4.6</span> becomes <meta itemprop="ratingValue" content="4.6" /> etc. If it’s just about having no visible content, you could keep using the parent div elements, e.g.: <div itemscope> <!-- you can/should give it an itemtype --> <div itemprop="aggregateRating" itemscope...
Schema.org's WebSite vs WebPage
WebSite represents a web site, WebPage represents a web page (like the difference between Blog and BlogPosting). The additional properties from WebPage (like breadcrumb and mainContentOfPage) wouldn’t necessarily make sense for WebSite. Google’s Sitelinks Search Box uses WebSite because the search usually applies to the whole site, not just a...
Can you use plain text for addresses in schema.org markup?
html,schema.org,structured-data
Yes, you may use text as value for address. While its expected value is another item (namely PostalAddress) instead of text, Schema.org does not require this (bold emphasis mine): While we would like all the markup we get to follow the schema, in practice, we expect a lot of data...

Is there any way to get schema.org RDF in slices?
No, there is not. Ontology modularization is a non-trivial task. In a nutshell, it is easy only if the creator of the ontology implements it at design time. The reason is that there can be complex dependencies between the axioms for the various conceptual elements. I designed www.productontology.org specifically in...
Define extra properties for an existing class in RDFS?

Using schema.org/Product image on a non image element
seo,prestashop,product,schema.org,microdata
If you are using the itemprop attribute for an a element, the property value will be the URL specified in the href attribute, not the content of the a element. So in your example, the image property has the value link-to-product (which will be interpreted as URL): schema:Product → schema:image...
Is it okay to use same schema.org markup twice on one page?
schema.org,microdata,rich-snippets,structured-data
Unless you use itemid, consumers can’t be sure that two (or more) items are (about) the same thing. So they would learn that your Product item has two AggregateRating items. Consumers might try to deduce that both items should be the same (e.g., by comparing url values), but you would...
Difference between MusicGroup and Person in schema.org
schema.org,rich-snippets,google-rich-snippets
As the Schema.org documentation says, a "MusicGroup" can refer to a solo musician, and should be used. It has the benefit that you can have "album" and "track" properties that allow you to define the solo musician's recorded works (which are not present in "Person"). Probably, but that's entirely...
How do you use link text as value in schema.org value?
html,metadata,schema.org,microdata
Microdata does not provide a way to denote that an itemprop on an a element should not produce a URL as value. You have to add another element that is one of the elements that produces string values in Microdata (tl;dr: not time and not one of the elements that...
What page type fits to schema.org type product?
The closest match would be ItemPage (emphasis mine): A page devoted to a single item, such as a particular product or hotel. Note that Schema.org is currently missing a property to link to the "main item" this page is about, i.e., a Product in your case. The mainContentOfPage property is...

tl;dr: It’s appropriate use of Schema.org, but Google doesn’t seem to support it (yet). Google’s documentation for their Products Rich Snippet lists price as a required property. They don’t even mention the priceSpecification property. So according to their documentation and their Testing Tool, it seems that Google does not (yet?)...
Which Schema.org property should I use for related articles, quizzes, stories? [closed]
